Bob abandoned plans to retire from the Washington TV scene when he received the call to come to Cleveland and join Doreen Gentzler on the anchor desk at WKYC in 1986.
According to his obituary in The Washington Post, Doreen Gentzler remembers Bob fondly. "He was a really good guy, a gentlemen with a friendly world for everyone. He had a good sense of humor and never took himself too seriously."
Ironically, Gentzler would later move on to WRC-TV/4 in Washington D.C., the same station Bob had worked before coming to WKYC.
Bob was born in Chicago and graduated from the Fork Union Military Academy in Virgina in 1943. He is survived by two daughters and a grandson. His wife, the late Cythnia Martin McBride died in 2007.
