He and Penny made their home in Craig, Alaska until November 2016 when they re-located back to South Whidbey.

Bob was also an avid outdoorsman where enjoyed hunting and fishing. In his free time, Bob spent much of his time commercial salmon fishing, sports fishing and hunting in the great outdoors of Alaska. In his retirement years, he and Penny spent most of the winter months enjoying traveling the U.S. in their motorhome and the warm sunny climate of Yuma Arizona.
