Bob’s 33 years of service started with the Cedarburg Light & Water Utility and he retired as the superintendent of the wastewater treatment facility. He also maintained the Cedarburg Outdoor Pool and was a volunteer for the Cedarburg Fire Department.

Bob grew up in L’Anse, Mich., with his brother and three sisters. His father was the private chef for Henry Ford. Bob and his family had the opportunity to personally meet Henry Ford on several occasions.
