Passed away peacefully at home on January 14, 2020. Born in Chicago, Illinois on July 11, 1937 to Grace and Robert Louis Staab, Bob moved to West Palm Beach, Florida as a teen-ager, remained active in the Boy Scouts (Order of the Arrow) and graduated from Palm Beach High School where he was a band member. He later graduated with a Ph.D. in analytical chemistry from the University of Florida where he was a member of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity.
