He was a retired physicist who worked for 40 years in the defense industry for various Department of Defense subcontractors. He came to Broome County to work for Singer Link until the company was sold and broken up. Bob was a very creative and inventive individual. During the mid-70's slowdown in the defense industry and in response to the Arab Oil Embargo, Bob designed and built a fuel-efficient, 3-wheeled vehicle called the TriVette of which 28 were built. Upon retiring from Link, he went back to his love of vehicles and designed and built a larger, more exotic 3-wheeler with a small block Chevy engine and called it the "Vigillante." Details and the history of 3-wheel endeavors and expertise are available at www.vigillante.com. Few people in the world were as knowledgeable about the design and performance of 3-wheeled vehicles.Services will be private and at the convenience of the family.
