Bob lived his entire life in Lansing Illinois where he found his three passions; his family, his political career and his Harley. In his youth Bob worked side by side with his father until he took over the family business becoming the Owner of Lansing TV and Video. He spent the next several years serving the community of Lansing as a member of the Lansing Jaycees, Lansing Lions Club, and Knights of Columbus. As his dedication to his town grew, Bob served on the Lansing Zoning Board, joined the board of Lansing Trustees and culminated his love for Lansing serving as Mayor (1993-2001). Following his political career Bob worked for Cook County as a Tax Analyst. Bob always did his best to be honest and true. He always believed if you were going to do a job you should do it right. Bob was filled with good times and always seemed to play it cool. His friends and family will forever remember him giving the thumbs up while sharing two simple words to live by "Keep Smilin".
