Robert lived in Colorado until his grandson was born and he moved back to Fort Worth. Every Sunday, Bob would spend time and play with his grandson until they both got in trouble and then he would take his son and grandson to lunch.

Robert was proud to be able to retire in his 50's. After retiring, his love of mountain biking took him to Colorado, where he learned to ski and would ski 100 days out of the year. Even in retirement, Robert continued to stay in touch with his old friends while making plenty of new acquaintances. Robert was active in his new community and felt fulfilled with the opportunities retirement offered him.
