Robert’s career and avocations were often concerned with service to others. He was an HVAC technician and union organizer. He devoted many hours to recovery and helping others in varied ways. A big man, he had a bigger heart, loved and tended to his family home, and threw big cookouts. He enjoyed traveling, great meals, celebrations, and fishing, as long as other people were involved. He never met a stranger.
Honorary pallbearers will be Don Sonnier Jr., Michael Talley, Richard Choate, Hoy Hill, Richard Davis, James Dauman, Michael Hale, Bernard Wright, Brian Thompson, and John Harkins.
