Robert served two terms in the Vietnam War as a helicopter pilot, a role that reflected steady resolve and a deep sense of duty. Following his military service, he built a career as a contractor in information technology, bringing focus and reliability to his work.
Beyond his professional life, Robert found meaning and quiet joy in creative and outdoor pursuits. He was a painter and photographer, and he also enjoyed fishing—interests that spoke to an attentive eye, patient hands, and an appreciation for the world’s detail and calm.
Robert is survived by two children, his daughter, Shannon, and his son, Sean, as well as one adopted daughter, Ashley.
