He was a favorite among his classmates. He graduated from Raymondville High School in 1976. Bob attended and graduated from Southwest Texas State College. He worked as a Physical Education teacher and coach at Clemente Martinez Elementary School for 22 years.

Anyone who knew Bob knew his love for Disney. The cartoon character Mickey Mouse was his favorite. Bob even traveled to Paris, France to see Mr. Mouse. Like Mickey, Bob brought smiles, laughter and happiness wherever he went. Bob had an infectious smile that radiated to all around him. He has never met a stranger. Bob loved and was loved by many and found joy in church, family and friends.
