A good man that loved our country and like to talk about his time about ships he served on. He visited many of elder people until he was not able to do so. He will be missed by many.

I met Robert while he lived at Universal Health Care. Our Sunday School Class went for a visit and I learned that he and my husband, Bobby were hunting pals from a few years ago. We became friends and I continued to visit with him. During our visits we always enjoyed talking about Jesus and ending our visit with prayer. We will see you in Heaven one day Robert.
