Working stateside Bill worked at the Disney World Resort while living in Florida.  He was also a member of the Corrections Departments.  Bill was a life member of the V.F.W. and the American Legion.

As a weightlifter, Bill kept himself fit over the years.  He loved singing karaoke and could belt out the tunes.  Bill loved football and he and Sophie relaxed on the sofa each fall soaking in the games.

Robb at home;3 three children: Jennifer (Soy) Phonsanna, La Verne, TN, Brett Bumford of Rochester, Aaron Ruthruff of Charlotte; bonus daughter Jessica Bumford of Michigan; 11 grandchildren: Mackenzie, Sonesah, Neela, Bradley, Kyleigh, Landon (Serving our Country with the US Navy), Khloe, Brennick, Bryson, Cadyn; two great-grandsons:  Hudson and Wesley; a brother Rick Robb of Evansville; and his loving canine Sophie the Golden Retriever.
