Bob was born in South Boston on December 29, 1926, the son of the late Anthony A. and Anna C. (Hayes) Little. He left high school early to enlist in the Army during World War II and after the war returned home where he worked for over 32 years at Mills Transfer Company in Boston as a member of the Teamsters Union Local #25.
