Robert was born and raised in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and served in the United States Army during the Korean War.  He enjoyed a successful career in sales working for Borden Chemical and Bayer Company, most notably. Robert, along with his wife Mary, moved where his career promotions took him raising their children in New York, Ohio, New Jersey and Massachusetts.
