Bob was born May 2, 1941 in Minneapolis, MN to Ralph and Lela (Pray) McDougall. Ralph died in World War II. Lela then married Ralph Coulter in 1946, and they raised Bob in Maynard, Minnesota.

In his early years Bob enjoyed riding horses, hunting and fishing, playing with his siblings and cousins, and tooling around in his muscle cars.

Bob was passionate about fishing, golfing, and playing cards. He enjoyed spending time with his grandson, Kaleb, taking his dog, Roxy, for walks, and cheering for the Twins and Vikings. He was a member of the Eagles and Knights of Columbus. Bob was known for his ability to connect with people- the epitome of a "people person," whether it was a long-lost friend or grocery store cashier, he loved talking to people.
