Bob was born to love struck struggling actors that made their mark in Hollywood during the golden age. Beginning his acting career in the 1960’s he quickly became part of the counterculture. Bob always beat to his own drum and stayed true to himself in all of his endeavors.
Although an accomplished actor, his true art was living fully. He was a photographer, drummer, raconteur, and gallery owner. His love of the ocean kept him in Malibu, and he had great tales of his adventures paddling to Catalina from there. Bob had a constant interest in developing his internal martial arts practice and studied with many teachers, most recently Joe Lopez.
Great hearts are always open to more love..nothing is lost or diminished just in different form. Bob’s great heart touched so many, he will be greatly missed but his love will be with us always.
