He traveled throughout Canada for many years during his career, always having his home base in Saint John. He was a proud member of Local 213. Bob was a life-long member of Our Lady of Assumption Catholic Church. In his later years he enjoyed attending the Assumption Breakfasts and going to McDonald's with friends to have a coffee.

Bob also enjoyed going out West to hunt geese on The Great Canadian Flyway once a year. He was an avid reader and his literature of choice would often be about hunting, fishing or nature.
