He was a graduate of Antigo High School class of 1955. Upon graduating, along with his brother, Dumaine, Bob entered the US Navy. His time in service took him to many countries.

On September 8, 1962, Bob was united in marriage to Rachel Perry at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Aniwa.

Rachel and Bob joined in the excitement of seeing their grandson, an Antigo High School baseball player win the state championship in 2019. They were also fortunate to travel to tournaments and visit Cooperstown with their family. He was the fan in in the stand yelling “5 for a ride” when routing for a homer.
