Robert Frank Rule was born in Longview, WA to Robert J. Rule and Jacqueline Rule. He was an extraordinarily intelligent person, with a passion for many subjects including art and medicine. He was a lone wolf of sorts, but found his soul mate and partner in Cherie. Together, they raised a beautiful family and he pursued his passions as a RN. His soul mate passed in February of 2020 and Robert joined Cherie in Heaven on March 9, 2025. He is survived by his sons Paul Aschenbrener (Karen), Michael Aschenbrener, Robert Benjamin Rule (Lauren), and daughter Rebecca Switzer (Jason) and his grandchildren Elizabeth, Faith, Sophie, Luke, and Abigail.
