Prior to moving to Rockland County in 1980, Bob managed Babe Ruth and Little League baseball teams in the Bronx. After his move to Rockland County, he became a member of the Rockland County Umpires Association.

Games umpired by Bob in Rockland County included all ages from Little League to college teams, plus women's and men's adult leagues.
For the last two years, Bob has resided at the Tappan Zee Manor Assisted Living in Nyack where he was active, and recently served on the community council as a spokesperson for the residents.
