Bob was born on July 18, 1952 in Brooklyn, New York, the second son , to Paul and Josephine Chiore. He attended Chaminade High School in Mineola, New York and, later, graduated from Georgetown University. He worked briefly for Barclays Bank in New York City before accepting a job with American Airlines. Bob moved to north Texas in 1979 when American Airlines relocated its headquarters to Fort Worth. Shortly after relocation, Bob pursued a masters degree graduating from the University of Texas at Arlington with an MBA. He remained with American for most of his working life, principally as a financial analyst. After American, Bob focused his energies on blog talk radio as host of Italian Tomatoes - a show about current events from an Italian-American perspective, pragmatic and skeptical. Bob's compact with his listeners and bloggers: "My politics are center-right, but I respect all points of view." He also spent the busy tax seasons as a tax professional for H&R Block.
Bob was a dedicated friend who could always be counted on. He put his "all" into his work and never left a job undone. He passionately enjoyed everything about politics and loved a lively, civil discussion with those who were brave enough to engage his intellect. A keen student of history, government, foreign affairs, economics, politics, business and human behavior, his friends affectionately referred to him as "The Professor", a title which made him smile. His mom and dad gave Bob extraordinary educational opportunities and a work ethic that inspired and guided his life. These gifts were never forgotten by Bob who became his mother's primary caregiver during the declining years of her life.
Those who knew Bob well, know that he had a kind heart. Anyone crossing Bob's path in life was treated with respect, kindness and open arms. It was never too much to ask him for a favor or call him late in the evening. He was wickedly funny to those he trusted and had a knack for helping people without making them feel helped. We miss you Bob and we always will.
Bob will miss his phone conversations and visits with his brother Phillip, who survives.
