He was a research chemist at Celanese for his entire career, where he received several patents. Bob remained close to those he worked with throughout his retirement. He liked to work on household carpentry projects and play golf. However, his real passion was contract bridge. He was a member of the South Texas Bridge Association, an American Contract Bridge League affiliate. He played weekly and enjoyed traveling to tournaments, accumulating 4,000 master points.”—Tyler Dangerfield, grandchild-in-law
