Bob was born on December 5, 1944 in Washington, D.C. to Elihu and Ruth Frick. Growing up in Maryland, Bob had a zest for life and was always seeking adventure. After graduating from high school, he spent a year in Thailand with his family. Upon his return to the United States, Bob enlisted in the US Army as a private. He eventually became an officer and completed his active duty from 1965-1974. He rejoined the Army as a reserve officer in 1977 and retired in 1996 as a Colonel.

One of Bob's active duty assignments brought him to Hawaii. This is where he met his wife, Jeanne Domenico. They were married in Hawaii on August 11,1973. Bob was reassigned to Ft. Carson in Colorado Springs. This is where they made their home. Together they had 2 wonderful daughters - Angie and Susie.

Bob was a teacher/coach while performing his Army reserve duties. Bob taught metal shop and computer science for School District 11 from 1977-2004. He was loved by his students and always found creative ways to keep his students engaged. Many students have kept in touch with him throughout the years. Bob's leadership skills and sense of teamwork made him a successful and beloved coach.

Bob's adventures took him around the world as he traveled to many countries, including his tour of duty in Vietnam with the 101st Airborne Division. Bob enjoyed the outdoors. You could find him sailing in the ocean, hiking in the mountains or riding his motorcycle to Mexico. If he wasn't seeking adventure or playing his guitar, you could find him in the garage building furniture. Bob's favorite motto was "Life is Good".

Bob's family meant a lot to him. He is survived by his wife, Jeanne, of 49 years. Daughters, Angie (Tony) Karr of Colorado Springs and Susie (Craig) Scott also of Colorado Springs; his amazing grandchildren, Elisa, Liam, Logan and Solveigh; siblings, Dane (Sue), Emily and Jack; and numerous nieces and nephews.
