Bob met the love of his life, Wilma Wheeler, and they got married in 1955. After their marriage, they moved to Tulsa, OK, where Bob worked at Air-X-Changers. They were blessed with three children: Robert, James, and Barbara. While the kids were still small, they moved back to Cherokee County to the Double Springs area.
