In the early years of Bob’s aerospace career and while at Whittaker Corporation, he met and married the love of his life, Marlene. They were inseparable. Their life together was full of adventure, especially while living in the Middle East and Europe. While abroad, they traveled extensively and made many long-lasting friendships. Bob’s love of adventure and natural curiosity about different cultures continued throughout his life. This curiosity and life experience gave him a depth of knowledge on so many subjects.

Throughout Bob’s life, he supported his community through many charitable organizations. Bob was a force in Santa Barbara and Montecito, owing to his many generous contributions to the community, and to his insatiable quest to make our community a paradise for all. He particularly enjoyed mentoring young adults. He was passionate about his family, friends, gardening, travel, aviation, and his exuberant love of music. Bob took great joy in bringing unexpected and immeasurable happiness to others.

Bob’s death was preceded by the deaths of his parents, Louis and Adelaide, and his younger twin brothers, Thomas and Frank.

Bob is survived by his wife, Marlene, his son Michael and his wife Tia, and daughter Katherine by a previous marriage, his grandchildren, Jonathan and his wife Fanny, Christin and her husband Ryan, Megan and her husband Donnie, and Jeffrey; and his great-grandchildren Kellan, Chloem, and Caden.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in the name of Robert Veloz be made to the Ridley-Tree Cancer Center.
