Bob was an important member of the team at Keller-Williams, Tri-Valley Luxury Real Estate.

Bob had a tremendous amount of energy and always gave his all.  Many in the Pleasanton community may remember him from his time with the Pleasanton Rotary North, the Pleasanton Chamber of Commerce, running the timers for summer swim team for both Clubsport and the FAST Dolphins, and announcing for the Foothill High School boy’s lacrosse program. He loved his wife and children dearly. Always supporting them and encouraging them to achieve everything they attempted. In his free time, he loved to be in the mountains, skiing down the long sweeping runs at Heavenly, and in the summer spending every available opportunity on the boat watching his boys take laps on the wakeboards. 

Bob is survived by his wife Cindy Hochler-Gee, children Sam, Scott, Brandon and Tiffany. His Siblings, Maryanne, Marge, Lonnie, and Rick. Plus, a tremendous number of other friends and community members who loved him dearly. 

There’s nothing Bob loved quite as much as close friends, good country music, a Salmon Caesar, and a nice glass of red wine. He’ll be missed dearly.
