He graduated from Cape May High School in 1943. A man of honor, he served in the United States Navy in the Pacific Theater during World War II as a radar operator on the aircraft carrier the USS Essex. He was awarded the WWII Victory Medal, Philippine Liberation Medal and the Asiatic Pacific Area Campaign Medal. Upon returning home from the war, Bob enjoyed a 30 plus year career with the US Postal Service serving the City of Cape May. After his retirement, he kept busy by volunteering for the Cape May Historical Society and working part-time for the Cape May City Recycling Department. Bob also donated his time to serve on the Cape May City Elementary School Board for 16 years, in which three of those years he held the position of Board President. Bob truly enjoyed hunting and was an avid member of the Buck Hunting club located in Shamong Township. There in Shamong, he also treasured spending time with his family and friends at his cranberry bog property where he felt most at home. While working at Cape May City’s recycling yard, Bob always took the time to converse with everyone he met. Bob will be remembered as a loving and caring man, with always a quip ready for a laugh. He is predeceased by his wife, Patricia (1998) and his brother, Belford LeMunyon.
