On May 30th, 1954, while working for Atlantic Refining Co. on location in Anadarko, OK, he married the love of his life, Ameta Fay Noblitt. During the next 6 years, they lived in various locations in Oklahoma, west Texas and New Mexico. Two daughters were also added to the family during this time. In 1960 the family moved to Clinton, OK where they lived for 53+ years before moving in 2013 due to health issues.

After moving to Clinton, Bob worked several jobs. He retired in 1980 from the Clinton Fire Department as a Captain. In addition to his duties as a firefighter, he also drove the bookmobile for Western Plains Library System which he enjoyed immensely. In addition, he also helped his mother-in-law with farm chores following the death of her husband in 1971. In his later years, he drove trucks for Bob Smith and Ford Tractors as well as helping drive vehicles to/from Clinton for a local car dealership.

Bob enjoyed spending time with his family, fishing, camping, woodworking, traveling and sightseeing. Drinking coffee with his buddies was also a highlight of his day.

Bob and Ameta were active members of Broadway Heights Missionary Baptist Church while living in Clinton. Bob had a keen interest in making sure the church yards were neatly mowed each week.
