Robert was my father in law. He welcomed me into his life 36 years ago and was the best father in law I ever had. He loved talking about his Navy career. Thank you dad for your service and allowing us to have the freedom we have. You were a man who would always help anyone who was in need and never expect anything back. For that I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You were the best father in law. I love you dad and you will be deeply missed.

Robert was my grandpa and the only father figure I had growing up. He took me in at age 11. In his own way he taught me how to be the man I am today. I learned through his example to always do what's needed to support your family. He was the most generous person next to his wife Cheryl I have ever known. Thank you gramps for everything you have given me through the years. You will be miss dearly.
