Bob taught at Meaford D.H.S. and Beamsville D.H.S., where he was the mathematics department head. He served on the mathematics contest problems committees at the University of Waterloo for twenty years, and worked with the Mathematics Heads Council of Lincoln County for many years.
Bob coached football, and worked with the drama and chess clubs at school. Outside of school, he was an avid golfer.
