On March 5, 1960 he married Ariel (Emerson). Robert moved to Vermont in 1966 to raise his family on their homestead and he was a Professor at Vermont Technical College in Randolph. He retired in 1993, and he was very proud to be an integral part of starting VTCs Blair Park campus. He will be remembered as a self-sufficient man, and an excellent craftsman, stone mason, and musician.

He is survived by his sons, Michael Miner and his significant other Merradee Lyons of Randolph Center and Matthew Miner and his wife Cynthia of Enosburg Falls; his grandchildren, Kiersten and Taylor Miner; and his sister, Jean White of Cohasset, MA.
