He was born on June 5, 1947, he was a true South Knox-villian through and through, Vestal was his home. Robert was a quiet, simple man who found joy in life's steady pleasures. He truly loved his job and took pride in the work he did every day. His grandchildren held a special place in his heart, and he cherished every moment spent with them. When he wasn't working, you could find him with a fishing rod in hand, tinkering with his lawn mowers, or showing off his skills at the pool table—he was an amazing player who rarely missed a shot. Robert was also a loyal viewer of WBIR Channel 10 News, never missing his evening broadcast.
