He was a veteran of the U.S. Army and a proud graduate of UTEP. He lived in San Diego, Ca for many years where he worked and retired as a U.S. Customs Supervisory Agent after 33years. His El Paso roots brought him back home a few years ago to be with his family.
He was raised a Roman Catholic and never forgot his faith, even in his last words he called upon the Lord and prayed.
Robert loved to cook, shop and he loved the casinos. He loved to talk about his life adventures. He was an intelligent man, full of strength, courage and wisdom. Although he was a private person, he loved to socialize with the people who surrounded him.
We are thankful to the Lord for his life, his heart and his soul. He was a blessing to us; he will always have a special place in our hearts. We will cherish the memories and the love he shared.
