Bonds Dies; Founder of Amtrak Substance Prevention Program
|
 Robert “Bobby” Bonds, 61, founder of Operation RedBlock, Amtrak’s internationally recognized substance prevention and intervention program, died Oct. 29 at his home in Bala Cynwyd, PA.
Bonds had a 39-year career with railroads, most of which he spent developing and administering assistance programs for Amtrak as their national director. He directed 155 union-led prevention committees across the U.S. to carry out drug and alcohol prevention and intervention training programs and cultural intervention strategies and served as the liaison between Amtrak’s management and 16 rail labor organizations.
He led Operation RedBlock for nearly 25 years, receiving presidential achievement awards from three administrations for his work with the program.
