He met his wife Kathaleen and in December 1993 they were married; they made their home in Middletown until they moved to Maine in 2002 to raise 4 grandsons together until they graduated.

Bobby and Kathaleen moved from Brunswick to Pittston where they made their home and became members of the First Congregational Church of Pittston, in which they both are serving in the Lord at Sunday services and weekly Bible studies, Prayer Warrior and many outreach programs including the Pittston Fair and the Church Holiday craft fair.

Bobby enjoyed taking day trips with Kathaleen to Popham Beach, Lands’ End, and trips to the hills of Bethel to visit Kathaleen’s brother. He loved spending time with the family at many family gatherings and also enjoyed spending time with his brother-in-law Bruce and his wife Vicky.
