==Post-Retirement==
===In the Media===
Bob (along with former teammate Joe Kocur) is featured in a book entitled "Bruise Brothers" by Bob Duff.
===Literary Works===
Before his death, Bob had been working on a memoir with Kirstie McLellan Day (the co-writer of Theo Fleury's bestselling autobiography "Playing with Fire").
His widow, Dani decided to honour his wishes to tell his story and continue with completion of the book.
On October 26, 2010, "Tough Guy: My Life on the Edge" was published by HarperCollins Canada.
===Hockey-Related Appearances===
Bob regularly appeared in charity games, spoke at conventions and conducted youth clinics.
His activities as a Red Wings alumnus were somewhat limited by the fact that due to his criminal history, he required an immigration waiver each time he wanted to cross the border.
On January 2, 2007, Bob appeared along with many other former Red Wings teammates to honor the retiring of Steve Yzerman's number 19 at Joe Louis Arena.
He wore his number 24 Red Wings jersey and helped former teammate [[Vladimir Konstantinov]] onto the ice for the ceremony.
The Detroit crowd gave him a very warm welcome, which he later said he appreciated. He stayed on to watch the game with Joey Kocur behind the penalty box.
This was noted as a possible reconciliation with the Red Wings organization. Apparently it worked as Bob became a late addition to a January 27, 2007, Red Wings alumni game against the Boston Bruins alumni at Joe Louis Arena.
He scored a goal and two assists, though the Red Wings alumni lost the game 8–6
Bob worked on the Mike Myers 2008 film "The Love Guru" making a cameo as a hockey player.
He commented on the irony of being given jersey number 28 to wear in the film: the same number worn by longtime rival Tie Domi.
In 2009, Bob participated in the Canadian figure skating reality television show "Battle of the Blades" which features figure skating pairs of male hockey players and female figure skaters competing against other pairs. He was partnered with Kristina Lenko.
===Legal Issues===
On June 4, 2004, Bob was arrested for allegedly parking his BMW sport utility vehicle on the wrong side of the street and entering into an altercation over drugs with bystanders.
Several police officers intervened and had to subdue him with taser and stun guns. Bob was later acquitted on all charges related to this incident.
On July 1, 2005, he was arrested at his Windsor-area (Lakeshore) home for breach of peace, resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer.
His attorney, Patrick Ducharme, advised the media, "''I anticipate he will be pleading not guilty and going to trial.''"
On August 23, 2005, Bob was arrested again at a bar in Tecumseh, Ontario for violating two conditions of his bail conditions that he not consume alcohol or be in an establishment that serves liquor.
He was released after paying $200 CAD bail. All charges stemming from the arrest on July 1st were eventually dropped.
