Bob was president of the former Kilbert Brother's Plumbing and Heating for 40 years. He then worked for Plumbers & Steamfitters Association, Local # 47, as a Master Plumber and helped build the Beaver Valley Power Plant, #2. Following his retirement, he was a prescription deliveryman for Eckert/Rite Aid Drug Stores.
Bob was a member of East Side Church, Sharon. He was also a member of the Plumbers and Steamfitters Association and received the honorable 50 Year award. Years earlier, Bob was a swimming instructor at St. John's pool in Sharon and was a member of the Polar Bear Club. A master craftsman, he enjoyed making wood furniture and toy games.
