After three years in the Army, Bob went to work in the investment business. After a year he joined Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., becoming a vice president of sales for its subsidiary, Lee Tire and Rubber Co.

Bob retired to Hilton Head, where he enjoyed gardening and playing golf and tennis.

His survivors include his daughters, Shelley Baranowski ’80 and Marion Osmun; and a son, David. His wife of 69 years, Ann, predeceased him.
