He married the former Carole Eve Geenwood in Allen Park, Michigan. He then married his second wife Patsy. Sadly, both preceded him in death.
Robert worked as an electric tool repairman for Black and Decker for many years, from which he retired.
Robert enjoyed going to church, fishing, canoeing, and even up to his last days he was telling jokes to make people laugh. Robert had many friends, lived his best life, was a very giving person and helped others whenever he was able. Most of all he enjoyed time spent with family.
Robert is survived by his loving son; Robert J. Adkins of South Haven, MI, eight cherished grandchildren and four treasured great grandchildren.
In addition to his parents and wives, Robert was preceded in death by his son; Robert David Adkins, and two siblings, Ray and Barb.
