In 1978 he was promoted to Chief of Police and served in that position for 20 years, retiring in 1998. He was very active in the community having lived at the corner of Garfield and Wallace Aves for many years where he raised his family. Bob also held karate classes at the Charles St School. He was a friend and mentor to many and was highly respected in the County and State Chiefs Associations, as well as by all those that worked and served with him here in Palmyra.
