Bob was a member of several pilot groups including Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association. At the end of WWII, Bob was asked to be Marine security and witness the peace signing between the United States president and Japanese prime minister aboard the USS Missouri at Tokyo Bay. He fought in Saipan, China and S Pacific Marine Corps 1st & 6th divisions. The Milwaukee Braves asked Bob to audition as pitcher, he declined to be with family.
