Robert was a close cousin to my dad, Gerald Chrisman. We are heartbroken that he passed so quickly but rejoice knowing he is in the presence of the Almighty. He was truly one of a kind. Soft spoken, loving, caring and an absolute joy to be around. He had so many talents and skills. I was able to watch the service online but the slideshow was cut short online. Hoping that is posted later. Covering the family in prayer. Love to all of you!

As everyone who truly knew him, I loved this man. We were quartered together at station 3 for a spell while he was in charge of maintenance at the FD. We had “wild party’s” in the evening's with popcorn and Diet Pepsi talking about our love and faith. While I was the Chaplain of the FD, he was the chaplain, friend, pastor to the chaplain. No finer man on earth and now face to face with his Creator. Love you Robert Chrisman.

I first became acquainted with Robert when he added an addition to my house in Harrodsburg. Since that time he did two more projects for me. He was a super nice person and I will miss him a lot. My condolences to Tony and the rest of the family.
