Robert is survived by his sister, Delores Larkin of Chicago, IL; his sister-in-law, Jane Hesse of Prescott, AZ; niece Anastacia Hesse and nephew, Geoffrey Hesse, both of Gloucester, and many cousins. He was predeceased by his parents, Sarah and Edward Larkin; his wife, Frances Larkin and their daughter, Tracy Larkin.
