His daughter, Cindy, was born in 1964. He worked as a car salesman for Cadillac and Ford; and served as an Assistant Pastor at Living Faith Church and Christian Community for five years.

During the 1990s, Bob taught at Trinity Christian Academy and at The Light House Academy, where he was affectionately known as "Mr. D."
