Robert was also a beloved grandfather to Savannah Walton, Brooke Aldrelte and husband Americo, Kimberly Walton, Nicholas Falls and wife Madison, Heather Villyard and husband Johnny, Kaylee Falls, Hannah Jankowski, and Allison Jankowski. He was further blessed with several great-grandchildren and is survived by other loving relatives and a host of friends.

Robert was preceded in death by his loving wife, June Walton, with whom he shared 32 years of marriage; his father, R.B. Walton; his mother, Ernestine Walton; his son, Davin Walton; and his brother, Carl Walton. His legacy will live on through the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to have known him.
