He served honorably in the United States Army and National Guard of Illinois as a Marksman and Speed Radio Operator until 1963.

After college, he found a career he loved as a Disc Jockey at a number of radio stations such as WIRL and KVIL to name a few. He was a performer and theater manager for Corn Stock Theatre Stage during the late 1960s. Bob found other work, but radio and voice-over was his passion.
Bob married the love of his life and best friend, Mary Ann Fuller, who he lovingly referred to as his “Honey Mills” on December 29, 1962. Together they shared a lifetime full of memories, laughter, and unconditional love. The unwavering love they shared for one another will always be one to admire throughout the generations.

Bob loved spending quality time with his family, and friends. He became a part of the Dallas Patriots family and was one of his grandson, Wyatt’s biggest and most proud fans. He adored taking walks with his Cocker Spaniel, Ollie, throughout his community. He was stubborn, quick-witted, charming, and would make you feel important and loved from your first interaction with him.
