Robert enjoyed visits with his five grandchildren, rooting for the Philadelphia Eagles and telling quick witted science facts about our solar system. He was a golf enthusiast in his younger years and took pride in rebuilding his family home from the ground up. He always enjoyed looking up at the stars to see any passing meteor showers. In his honor, we ask that you also take a deep breath and look up at the stars.
