Born October 17, 1943 in Meridan, CT, he was a son of the late Walter and Jeanette Grubenmann. Bob graduated from Wake Forest University in 1966, received a M.B.A. from Georgia State College in 1968 and spent 30 years of distinguished service with the U. S.

He was an avid golfer, and loved yard work; taking pride in his green and clean lawn beside the 8th fairway at Scotch Meadows Country Club.
