Bob was born in Rio Piedras PR, & moved to Williamsburg Brooklyn, 1946. He remembered his childhood fondly as a time when he would hang out with friends singing "doowop" on the corner & eating at Burger Flame. He also spent time working at his fathers grocery store on Broadway. He would later become a foreman, polisher of platinum & jeweler, working on Diamond Row until his retirement. He loved nature, classic cars, Motown, salsa, snow, and chocolate. He had a quick wit, a humble spirit, and sensitive nature. He loved the simple things in life. He spent his last years with his daughters telling them to be "pleasant", reminding us "you get further with water than vinegar." Bob encouraged them to follow Jesus, and never leave His side. Survived by his wife Madeline and his three daughters Vanessa, Corinne and Madeline.
