He married Helen L. Dufault August 13, 1946 in Moxee, WA. Bob bought 500 acres of land in Moxee and took it out of sagebrush and developed it into a successful farming operation that 3 of his children eventually took over. Bob was active in the community and served on a number of boards including the initial board of Carroll High School, and the initial Catholic Credit Union board (now known as Solarity Credit Union) from 1968 to 1997. He also served on the local Production Credit Association and Federal Land Bank boards. The later board activities turned into an enjoyable second career as Bob was appointed to the Spokane Farm Credit Board in 1975. He was then elected as a director by the Spokane Bank for Cooperatives in 1981 and later served on the Central Bank Board in Denver until 1987 when he retired.
