Bob was born in Pinhook, Ohio on October 31, 1940, to parents Ruby McKinley Clark and Edgar Beverage. He graduated from Lexington High school, then honorably served in the US Air Force for 4 years. Bob then met and married his sweetheart, Sandy, in 1961, after which he founded his own trucking company. Bob also served for 6 years as a chaplain for Disabled American Veterans and participated in the Big Brother Program. He was a die hard Ohio State fan, and he and Sandy held season tickets for women’s basketball for many years.
