Bob was the father of 10 children,He had been married for 32 years to Ruby Cleo Crampton. He had been a logger for most of his life until he contracted tuberculosis which prevented him from
returning to the woods. He died of cardiac thrombosis due to complications from the collapsing of his lung.

Bob met his wife, Ruby, in Oroville, California
in the summer of 1928. They were married in Dec of the same
year. Bob and his family moved from state to state following the timber.

He lived in California, Idaho, Oregon and back to California.

He and Ruby had at least one of their ten children in each of
the three states.

Bob also worked for the forest service in a look-out tower
spotting for forest fires. On one of these occasions a cougar decided to pay him a visit. Bob was on the inside of
the tower and the cougar on the outside. The cat was going around and around on the "cat-walk" trying figure out how to get down, Bob was just wondering "when" the cat was going to get down!

Bob was a great fly fisherman. A part-time prospector. and a onetime store owner. In his younger years he had worked in
a coal mine, and served in the military during world war II.
