brief time as an assembler at Maloney Storm Door Company.
With a total of 39 years in banking, Robert was hired by Alliance
First National Bank and continued there as a teller, supervisor
and other assignments through manager at the West State
branch. He retired after eight years as the Cash Vault Supervisor

traveled to visit friends and family all over the country. He was a
member of Alliance Kiwanis, church treasurer and deacon, and

always wanted to come over and help with the latest projects.
