He married Ann Digneris in 1943, and a few years later their daughter Janis was born.
Bob's hobbies included golfing & curling. After retirement, he concentrated on gardening, bread making and enjoying music. He was involved in volunteer activities in the community, including delivering Meals on Wheels. In September 2006, Bob & Ann moved from Prince Albert to Vernon, BC, so they could live close to their daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren. Bob loved time spent with family & friends.
