He was born October 16, 1948 in Longmont to Alexander and Pauline (Seader) Laber. Bob graduated from Longmont High School in 1966.
On September 2 1967, he married Sherry Pennington.
Bob served in the United States Army from 1968 to 1971. He saw duty in Vietnam and was Honorably discharged.
Bob had a long career as an auto body repairman. He worked for Connor Auto Body in Longmont. He owned and operated Laber's Tin Lizzy auto body in Niwot for 20 years, selling the business in 1993.
