Description
Son of Mill Valley Market founder and owner Frank Canepa, Robert (Bob) Canepa is a lifelong resident of Marin County. Born at Ross Hospital in 1947, Bob recounts his memories of working in his family grocery store and what life was like growing up in Mill Valley with his older siblings, Jim and Marilyn ("Patsy"). Bob discusses the impact of serving in the U.S. Marine Corps following his graduations from St. Ignatius High School and the University of San Francisco. The leadership skills he acquired in the Marine Corps served Bob well when he became a partner in the Mill Valley Market in 1975. During his tenure at the Market, Bob was involved in Kiddo!, the Mill Valley Schools Community Foundation, where, in 1987, he launched the Kiddo! Business Partnership Program. Along with his wife Reggie, Bob has two sons and two grandchildren (with one more due). Bob discusses his post-retirement love of travel and his volunteer involvement with the Mill Valley Rotary Club, The Redwoods, and the Center for Volunteer Non-Profit Leadership.
