Bob enjoyed woodworking, especially making cradles for his granddaughters. Hunting deer in North River, fishing, and time in the garden whether growing roses or veggies were all relaxing hobbies for Bob. He got a kick out of driving his grader or any heavy equipment.

He went on to pastor in North River, Ravensdale, The Little Brown Chapel in Wickersham and lastly a little church in Marblemount. He was currently a member at Grace Baptist Fellowship in Lynden.
