He was born on November 26, 1962 to Robert C. and Jeanne Vuglar in Des Plaines.
Bob’s biggest love was his family, especially his children. He was there for them as their coach, teacher and best friend but foremost their dad. He was their biggest supporter no matter if they were on the ice or running a race. Bob would be there cheering them and all their teammates on with a cup of coffee and a big smile. He was a loving husband who was always there to share his love, friendship and wisdom.
Bob was also there for his family and friends to share a laugh or bend an ear.
Bob enjoyed sports. He was an avid fisherman, who didn’t miss a trip to go fishing in Canada with his father, son, brothers, nephews and friends. In the summer he spent his Sunday’s golfing in the Dew Duster Golf league sharing laughs and a good time. When it came to Chicago sports, it didn’t make a difference what team was playing he was watching them and cheering for them. He always knew when and where they were playing especially his beloved Blackhawks. He enjoyed the company of his loving and loyal dog Bantam.
