More recently he became a member of Enon Tabernacle Baptist Church in Philadelphia under the pastorate of Reverend Alyn E. Waller where he was a member of the Usher Board. Rob was also a free & accepted Mason. Rob joined the U.S. Armed Forces in 1977 and served his country until 1981.

His hobbies were fixing, creating, and buying things and he did all of the extensive renovation work on a house that he purchased, further increasing its real estate value. His sense of humor was beyond measure; a real funny man that would have everyone laughing as soon as he opened his mouth, though he wouldn't be laughing, you would be in stitches.
