Robert leaves behind a legacy of love and laughter, with his wife of 52 years, Viola V. Rodriguez by his side. He was a dedicated family man, and his memory will continue to be cherished always. 

Having served in the Army during the Vietnam War, Robert's bravery and selflessness extended beyond the battlefield. He was known for his sense of humor, always ready with a joke to bring a smile to others' faces.
