The couple were married at St. Anne's Catholic Church in Crookston and made their home in rural Crookston where they farmed together and raised their family. When their sons were old enough to help out, Robert began farming with Mark and Tim. Robert and Gladys and family enjoyed camping, traveling and spending time with family and friends. Robert and Gladys spent many winter months in Weslaco, Texas. Ill health led to Robert entering the Villa St. Vincent Nursing Home on January 11, 2000.

Robert served twelve years on the Cenex Board, was a lifetime member of V.F.W.
