Bob and his wife Emily (also a DPS members) moved outside of the Angeles Chapter area to Beaumont CA. They had two daughters Ginny & Betsie who both qualified as DPS members. Bob referred to their home as 'The bear's den'.

Bob was on the Angeles Chapter Executive Committee when the Sierra Peaks Section was proposed by Frank Sanborn and Barbara Lilley at Bob's urging.
