Bob started cycling in high school, and continued to race years later, traveling to different velodromes in California to compete. He often spoke about his racing days, and how the tracks where very fast and dangerous. Bob also had a love for animals, not ever wanting a stray to go hungry nor an animal to be without. He held this kindness throughout his life and showed it with every cat or dog he met. He supported his beliefs by adopting through the animal shelters and monetary donations to the Humane Society.
