Bob worked as a Project Manager for Northrup Corp. for 33 years prior to his retirement to Chatham on Cape Cod.

He and his wife Elizabeth were active in many historical and genealogical groups such as DAR and Descendant of the Mayflower and were both avid swimmers, travelers and lovers of the Cape's beautiful beaches.

A private funeral service for the family only will be held at the Holden-Dunn-Lawler Funeral Home, Westwood, MA on May 13, 2021 with a graveside service to follow at New Westwood Cemetery.
