Bob and Alana were avid ballroom dancers. They taught ballroom dance throughout the tri-state area, as well as on cruise ships traveling as far away as Australia, South America, and the Caribbean.

Bob was a much-loved son, brother, husband, father, and grandfather. He was kind, hardworking, and always willing to help a friend.
