A proud United States Army veteran, Robert continued his life of service by pastoring several congregations throughout Illinois, Ohio, and Texas. Even after stepping back from full-time ministry, he devoted time to volunteering for various charities until his health declined. He was married to Kimara (Ten Eyck) Workman.

Robert was a man of many talents and quiet passions. He enjoyed needlework, cooking, and woodworking, finding joy in creating and sharing his work with others. He had a lifelong love of horses, dogs, and farm animals, and felt most at peace in their company.

Robert will be remembered for his deep faith, his generosity, and the gentle, thoughtful spirit he brought to every part of his life. His legacy lives on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
