At the age of 15 he left the family farm and worked on the railroad at Rhame, ND; did some sheepherding; had a star mail route from Alpha to Sentinel Butte; and later began farming on his own. "He was united in marriage to Helen Otremba on November 25, 1925 in Wibaux, Montana. "Sonnek moved to Beach in 1947 due to poor health. In 1949 they (Robert and Helen) purchased the Super Value Store, later purchasing a card room and pool hall and eventually building and operating Bob`s Lanes. He retired in 1978 and continued making his home in Beach, until poor health mide it necessary for him to become a resident of the Wibaux Nursing Home.
