During his high school years, Robert was a member of the High School Marching, Jazz, Orchestra, Chamber and Pep Bands. His junior year of high school the HFHSII Marching Band was called to march in the Rose Bowl Parade, that year in California. Only three high school marching bands are invited every year to perform in the Rose Bowl Parade.
Robert was passionate about music, cars and trucks, particularly Jeeps. He loved listening to the Detroit Tigers on the radio when he could sit outside at home, on a nice summer day, enjoying spending time with his dog, Jazz, and often a few friends and family.
Robert loved deeply, and was always the first person to offer a helping hand to anyone in need. His heart was incredibly generous and kind. A true gentleman and loved by many.
