After graduation, Bob enlisted in the U.S. Navy and served as a Seabee in Okinawa during WWII. Bob was an outstanding athlete and upon his return from the service, he played semi-pro football. He went on to attend Miami University, where he earned a B.S. in Business, was a member of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity, and met his wife, Alice. Bob owned and operated the Purity and the College Inn from 1956 through the 1970's and then owned Schuett's Roast Beef Shoppe from 1968 to 1975. Bob transitioned from hospitality management to real estate in the 1970's, putting his real estate license to use with Oxford Real Estate and then later as broker and owner when he established Redskin Realty in 1980.
