Bob worked most of his life in the apple business for Prince Farms before going to L/P Farms.  He helped build and worked at Highland Golf Course, and also worked for the Town of Turner Highway Department.

Nancy & Bob spent 30 years at Ocean View Park Campground where he worked as a maintenance man while enjoying his love of boating, fishing and clamming.  They spent 20 years as snowbirds in Melbourne Village, Florida tending to his 52 different fruit trees, enjoying friends and working for Friday morning Parks and Paths.  The last few summers were filled with camping in his buddy's yard and lobstering.  When at home, gardening and taking care of his grapes filled his time.
