Later, he became involved in his high school marching and jazz bands, as well as in the school's orchestra. He also played for the Connecticut Symphony and the Norwalk Symphony Orchestras as part of the youth orchestra program. On June 21, 1948, Bob enlisted in the National Guard and was honorably discharged on May 1, 1950. In 1949, he married high school sweetheart Anne Terzian, and they raised three children — Robert David, Deborah Ann, and Karen Leslie.
