After highschool he attended the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and graduated in 1932 with a degree in education. In 1937 he married the former Margaret Whitehall in Petoskey. The couple made their home in the Manistique area until 1939 when they moved back to Petoskey and Bob accepted the position of Petoskey Recreation Director. He held that position for 20 years.

He retired from teaching in 1975, but continued to be involved in community projects and civic activities until his death. He was surrvived by his wife, two sons, Robert and John, and two daughters, Ann and Marcia.
