Robert served his country proudly in the United State Army. He served from 1952 - 1954 as a Sargent in the Korean War.
Robert was a hard-working man and very caring. In his free time, you would find him outside, doing yard work, gardening and riding his lawn mower. Robert loved polka music and dancing. He even enjoyed playing the accordion up into his 90's. His most treasured time was spent with his family and friends, especially his grandchildren. Robert was a loving father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend to many. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
