In 1989 Bob married Robin Tharp and delighted in joining her and her 3 children: Casey, Rocky and Kelli Tharp.

Bob continued his financial career by earning his Certified Financial Planner designation and was associated with Quantum Financial Planning in Spokane. He later joined Robin in managing her Allstate Insurance agency until they retired in 2008.  They enjoyed many awards while with Allstate including a Mediterranean Cruise and trips to Hawaii and Buenos Aires.
