Bob wanted to be something. Something he couldn't, he was scared, weak but he wouldn't admit it even to himself. He was in pain everyday of his life getting closer the the end. He drank his problems away hoping someone will notice, no one did till it was to late. SPOILER ALERT: IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED/ READ THE OUTSIDERS THEN YOU WOULD HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON.
