Robert H. “Dr. Bob” Springer
Bob was Born in NYC as a first Generation US Citizen to German Holocaust survivor parents, Fred and Trudy Springer. He moved to Fords, NJ, the suburbs, in the 1950’s where he lived until marrying Jean. He met and befriended Carmen DiCanto in Kindergarten and they remained friends until his Carmen’s home-going in 2015. Out of that friendship came a lifelong friendship with Christine, Carmen’s wife and Bob and Jean’s friend. Carmen and Bob raised a lot of hell before their wives entered the pictures and calmed them down.
Bob married Jean Biddle Frishmuth in June 1975 and moved to Basking Ridge. Life before Jean was pretty insignificant. Things happened but she made everything better.
Bob and Jean are Proud Foster and Adoptive parents to Devon, Josh, John, Kiara, Clayton & Brandon. They have two sons – Clayton, who came to live with them in 2009 and is currently in Raritan Valley Community College and Brandon who joined the family in 2017. Brandon is in 4th grade.
Bob volunteered with Youth Group at Pluckemin Presbyterian Church in 1996 for a week. That lasted 7 years. It seems Youth Ministry was Bob’s passion. In fact, the youth led him to Christ. He is an ardent and passionate follower of Jesus Christ since May 31, 1998.
Bob’s career in education began in the US Army Reserve in1975 when he became the Chief Instructor of the Motor Transport Operators Course at Fort Dix. He was awarded US Army Reserve Outstanding Instructor commendation at Annual Training in 1975. In the pursuit of excellence, Bob became a Certified Master Automobile Technician which is a certification he has held since 1977. With a strong background in service related business, Bob has served people in many capacities.
