He came out of retirement to work at MHMRA of Brazos Valley as an Information Systems Manager from 2000-2002.

He was active in the Grimes County Republican Party as its webmaster, served as a Grimes County Precinct 7 Chairman and Election Judge, was a member of the Madisonville American Legion and a Charter Member of the AMVETS Bobby Twitty Post 105. Bob loved the outdoors and spent many summers camping with his family, fishing with his kids and grandkids, and riding around on his tractor. He was preceded in death by his parents.
