Robert married his devoted wife, Lottie on December 2, 1979.

equipment for a living. Robert also repaired small engines and sold
them. He continued to do this until his passing. He liked to stay
busy.
Robert loved fishing, barbecuing, and planting gardens. He would
plant a garden of different vegetables and give it all away except the
tomatoes. He liked tomatoes.
