His military service shaped much of his character and instilled values that he carried into all aspects of his life.

Upon returning home from the war, Bob devoted himself to his family, starting a new chapter that would enrich his life. He found joy in his role as a father to his children, Ron Fisher, Karen Bowser, and Kimberly Garrett, and cherished the moments spent with them and their families.

Bob is preceded in death by his ex-wife and the mother of his children, Toni Fisher.

Professionally, Bob enjoyed a long career with Bethlehem Steel, where he dedicated his skills and work ethic throughout his life. Retirement did not slow down Bob; rather, it allowed him more time to pursue his many interests. He was passionate about staying active and embraced a variety of hobbies, including racquetball, handball, skydiving, and working out. His vibrant personality and zest for life inspired those around him to live fully and embrace their passions.
