Robert proudly served in the United States Air Force, where he was recognized with a military commendation in 1985 for his role in a US-Canadian rescue operation.
An avid fisherman and bowler, Robert was also very involved in his community. He was both an International Boy Scout Leader and a youth sports coach.
He was known as a jokester and as someone who had a lot of compassion for others and who was always willing to help. But mostly, he was known for his dedication to his family.

He was preceded in death by his father, Jack Monroe Gullett, and his brother, Gary Douglas Gullett.
