After moving to Tacoma with the family, he graduated from Woodrow Wilson High School in Tacoma in 1969. Bob moved to Bend in the early 90s.

He was preceded in death by his father Donald, and his step- father Merrill Berger. Bob was a beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend to all who had the privilege to know him. To help keep Bob's memory alive, the family requests memorial donations be made to: www.dogpac.org or mail to DogPAC, P.O.Box 2091, Bend, OR 97709.
