Earl), Patricia Burrell (Louis Sr.), and Marilyn Taylor; 12 grandchildren, one great-grandson, and his companion Susan Sumner.
Robert, also affectionately known as Willie, Bob, Pop's, Eddie, retired as a chief Yeoman USN (E7) in 1975 after 24 years. Robert ended his Naval career teaching Sub School, but he also spent 17 years underwater in Submarines, including a stint on the USS Skate. Post Navy, Robert took his talent to General Dynamics, Electric Boat Division. He started as a Data Systems Analyst, working in support of Trident Nuclear Design. Always a leader, Robert eventually worked his way into a supervisory position and retired in 1988, as a Senior Engineering Assistant. In addition, while at EB, he also attained an associate degree in Data Management from Johnson and Wales College in Providence, R.I.

To Bob and Valerie whom I knew very well once upon a time, I am sorry for your loss. I remember I'd come over your house bunches of times to help your dad who had trouble with the TV set hooked into and the cable box cross connected with the VCR and trying to record at the same time while watching something else issues. I never found anything wrong ever. I finally said Bob every thing works fine ........The problem is somewhere else.......Where? Its your house.......bob said what? yes, Im afraid your house is broken, you need a new house. Don't call me anymore until you get a new house. I didn't want to say (you need more practice with this stuff then it will get easier) He never called me again to work on his TV......He was a funny guy.
