Robert was a generous supporter of organizations he believed did important work and were well managed like Legal Information Society of Nova Scotia, EPIC (Cape Breton) and MOCEAN and regularly recognized the people who often go overlooked. Robert demonstrated his commitment to public legal education through his donations and gifts of time and expertise. He provided free training of volunteers in Bridgewater who greatly enjoyed his sessions, for the LISNS Public Navigator Program which received a 2016 CBA-NS Access to Justice Award and Robert was also honoured through the Public Legislature at a Recognition Ceremony for improving public access to justice. He also was an expert speaker for LISNS Investor Protection Project podcast series and was recently assisting with LISNS estate navigator project.

Robert enjoyed spending time working in a fair-sized vegetable garden and caring for highbush blueberry trees, raspberry canes, potato patch and Concord grapes. Other than being with his family, he enjoyed nothing better than operating his tractor.

There will be a private family service at St. James Chapel on January 20, 2026 at 2pm and a graveside service in the Spring.
