Before moving to Winnipeg in the late 1970s, Bobby was active in school and community sports. He played quarterback for his high school football team and back catcher with the Hodgson Colts baseball team, where he developed many long-time friendships. He went on to work with his dad in construction and one of his first-time jobs was the construction of the Percy E. Moore Hospital in Hodgson. After moving to Winnipeg, he worked 30 plus years as a roofer with the construction of many high-rise buildings still standing in Winnipeg.
