One of the great pleasures of his later years was employing his marketing skills to promote Jeanne's career as a whistler of classical and contemporary music. The highlight of each year was their celebrated St. Patrick's Day party bringing together musicians and whistlers from afar. In his early years Bob indulged his interests in photography and music. He enjoyed repairing things and could often be found working on his car or restoring antique typewriters. His career in advertising and marketing took him to Omaha, Nebraska and then to Palos Verdes Peninsula, California where he was active in his church, the Chamber of Commerce and other professional organizations. It was always his dream to return to Youngstown for his final years and since his return he had been an active member of St. Patrick's Church in Youngstown.
