He was a very active father and enjoyed coaching football and baseball, boy scouts, teaching his sons to work on cars, and later attending his grandkids’ events and activities.
Robert was a great carpenter and built their log cabin and barn with his own hands. He loved living in the country and was an avid outdoorsman. He was a turkey hunter and spent countless hours in the barn making turkey calls.
