Outgoing and a good conversationalist, he had the gift of gab and made friends wherever he went. He enjoyed attending sporting events and was loyal to his New York teams.

Bob's friendly personality led him into advertising. He worked at various Interpublic agencies and then later in ad sales for The Jewish Week.
