Robert enjoyed camping and going to the beaches of southern Maine. Robert and Barbara have shared a second home in Wells since 1984, where they spent many vacations with their children, grandchildren and family pets they enjoyed throughout their life.

Robert loved to take rides in his truck to the local coffee shop in hopes to catch a friend to bend their ear and buy a couple scratch tickets. His summers were fondly spent making rounds throughout the Wells campground socializing with friends and strangers alike, even if it meant he was a couple minutes late for dinner each time. His infectious smile and love for a friendly chat with others is what people will remember most about Robert.

He will be deeply missed by his family, friends and all that knew him. Donation in Robert's memory may be made to the American Lung Association 393 Maple St Springfield MA 01105 www,lung.org The Mitchell Funeral Home handing arrangements www.mitchellcofuneralhome.com
