He was a kind and generous man who helped anyone in need. He had a warm smile and an infectious laugh. He loved his family, friends and pets.

On November 15, 1957, he married the love of his life, the former Patricia L. Hogue. They spent 66 years together.

Robert retired from Pennzoil where he worked in the warehouse for many years.

Robert was one of Jehovah’s Witnesses with the Franklin Congregation.
