He continued his education at the University of Massachusetts – Amherst. He worked over 20 years in the construction industry and for the past 5 years has been dedicated to being a consistent face to the students and families he transported for Vanpool. Bob enjoyed building strong bonds with the families he served as van driver and with the co-workers he encountered along the way.
