Bobby was a businessman and entrepreneur in the Delmarva area for decades, who built quality custom homes for hundreds of shore residents. His other ventures included commercial and residential insulation and home and commercial building renovations. Diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2020, he fought bravely and with a fundamental resolve for over 5 years. He used this "bonus years" gift - as he called it - to be with family and friends and deepen his relationship with God. His passions in life included his family, bird watching, the Baltimore Orioles, and outdoorsmanship. Bobby was a devoted and caring husband and father and positively impacted many who he met in his years. Bobby was a veteran of the US Army Reserves and Maryland National Guard.
Private services will be held at the convenience of the family.
