Bob, then in his late 40's, was diagnosed with Stage III Melanoma, the most dangerous type of skin cancer and the leading cause of death from skin disease. During that time, Bob went through vigorous treatments which stabilized his condition.

Sadly, in January of this year, Bob learned that the cancer was no longer stabilized. The cancer has now progressed to Stage IV Metastatic Melanoma. Bob, in his battle, is underwent aggressive treatments at Roswell Park that required extended periods of hospitalization. Unfortunately that treatment didn't work, but he is now undergoing alternative treatment.

Bob, with the support of his family, wife Angie, 4 children; Stephen, Candace, Ashley and Natalie, daughter-in-law Jenna, and his grandchildren; McKenzie and Robert, remain upbeat during this difficult time.
