Bob was a lifetime resident of Los Gatos. He graduated from Los Gatos High School in 1960 and then San Jose State where he earned a Masters in Urban Planning. He met his wife, Joan, at Los Gatos High School, and they were married in 1965. He served in the Navy during the Vietnam War from 1966 to 1969.

During retirement, Bob taught a city regional planning class at West Valley Community College. He also earned an AA in architecture there himself and loved designing remodels for friends and family. He volunteered in the community he loved. He served on the Los Gatos Historic Committee, volunteered at St. Mary's Church, and delivered bread to Loaves & Fishes with his lifetime friend Dave Romeri. He was always generous with his time and loved nothing more than helping others. His greatest love was for his wife, Joan. They were married for 55 years. Family was the most important thing in Bob's life, and he cherished being a father and grandfather. He never missed any of his grandchildren's activities. He is survived by his wife, Joan, children Nina Lamour, Allyson Penner, and Robert Cowan, son-in-laws Theodore Lamour and Chris Penner, grandchildren Andrew, Timothy, Hannah, and Grace, siblings Rick, Carl and Nancy, and many nieces and a nephew.
