His career culminated in work on the Columbia Accident Investigation and subsequent Space Shuttle Return to Flight activities. Bob held four US patents and numerous individual and group awards for technical achievement. Bob took great pride in the accomplishments of his wife and son. Like his Dad, Bob served in the US Army. He enjoyed shooting and his work with the American Tactical Shooting Association in Harrisburg, PA. He was an avid woodworker and amateur blacksmith. Bob loved to travel, especially to the American Southwest. In addition to Noah and Ann, Bob is survived by his mother, Bessie Rowe Berry, and other family members.
