On April 12, 1980, he married Patricia (Adams) Steria in Lyons Falls. Together they enjoyed wintering in Florida, traveling to Hawaii and twice to Alaska. The couple traveled throughout the United States in their motorhome. Bob enjoyed the outdoors, hunting, fishing, and was a

Together with his father and brother they owned and operated their family sawmill. Bob had a true passion for water skiing and wake boarding at their camp on Effley Falls. Most of all, he cherished spending time with his family.
