Robert was a man who found comfort in the simple and meaningful parts of life. He was a homebody at heart, and there was nowhere he would have rather been than surrounded by the warmth of his family and the familiar comforts of home. Robert deeply loved his family, and that love showed in the many ways he gave of himself each day. 

He enjoyed cooking for his family, taking pride in preparing meals that brought everyone together. He also treasured the playful energy of nerf wars with his children, creating memories filled with laughter, excitement, and joy. In his spare time, Robert enjoyed doing yard work and mowing. He also enjoyed playing video games, especially Forza and Call of Duty, which gave him time to relax and enjoy an interest he truly loved. Robert also loved tinkering with electronics, especially stereo equipment, he wanted his music to be loud and heard from a far. Robert will be remembered for the love he gave and the laughter he shared.
