Robert leaves behind a lasting legacy of self-reliance, a love of car restoration and the simple joy of working with his hands. He was the proud owner of Family Auto Care, for more than 15 years and what cars he couldn't fix in the shop he brought home to work on with all the love and attention he could. He also leaves behind a lasting legacy of love in the form of his children and grandchildren. We love you Daddy and will see you again.
