After serving in the Canadian Forces during the Second World War, he married Cecilia Kohnen, also of Winnipeg, in 1948. Shortly after, Bob and friends, Cecil Durnin and Cecil Parrish, established the Millen-Durnin-Parrish manufacturers agency. This business endeavour brought Bob and Cecilia to Calgary, AB in the early 1950s where they settled and began to raise a family. A subsequent business move brought them to Abbotsford in 1971.
