His family moved to Scottsbluff, Nebraska where he attended school and graduated from Scottsbluff High School in 1952. After graduation, he attended Colorado State University, but realized the U.S. Marine Corps was his calling. He enlisted in 1953 and served until 1956, ending his service with the rank of Sergeant. Bob married Darlene Herman of Mitchell, Nebraska on March 24, 1957 in Scottsbluff, Nebraska. They were blessed with a daughter and two sons.

Bob began his career with Swift and Company in Scottsbluff. This followed with a transfer to Clovis, New Mexico and then, Guymon, Oklahoma where he retired as Chief Engineer with the company. Following his retirement, he was employed with Bearing and Allied Supply in Guymon. After a second retirement, the family moved to Amarillo, Texas. With energy enough to want to continue working, he joined Texas Bearing Company and worked until July 1, 2011.

Robert enjoyed following his sons in their athletic involvement, and his daughter’s musical endeavors. He was an avid hunter.

Robert was a member of the Presbyterian Church throughout his lifetime. He served as an Elder and a Deacon.
