Bob was a 1954 graduate of Dublin High School, then went on to put himself through school to obtain his surveyor’s license while raising his family. Ultimately, he became co-owner of Dodson-Lindblom and Associates (Currently DLZ, Inc.) where he worked until his retirement. During the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, he was simultaneously the director of Dublin Cemetery, Dublin building inspector and served on the Dublin Village Council.
