After serving, he married his wife, Mary Lee on October 25, 1959 where they celebrated fifty-seven years of marriage until her death. Bob and Mary have two children, daughter, Linda (Jack) Dixon, and son Bobby (Carol) Peppers, four grandsons, Spence (Velita) Dixon, Colby (Jenna) Dixon, RJ (Breann) Peppers, and Ben (Alyssa) Peppers as well as four great grandchildren, Skyler Dixon, Lilly Dixon, Brynlee Dixon, and Avery Dixon.
He is survived by two brothers, Dan (Kathy) Peppers, John (Judy) Peppers and preceded in death by his brothers, Jack, George, Jim, Tom and Leroy Peppers.
