After graduation, Bob garnered his Ph.D. from Purdue and emigrated with his new bride, Denise Boitel, to Toronto. In Canada he joined Abitibi-Price, a prominent producer of newsprint and lumber, and built an impressive career as an industrial engineer. In retirement he supported local theater and music, volunteered at the North York General Hospital, and remained active in the affairs of the Rosedale Presbyterian Church.
