Legacy
Robert was a thoughtful, hardworking, amusing pioneer who devoted his life to his family. Before retiring at the age of 66, Robert worked for Bell Atlantic and then AT&T for almost 50 years as a linemen and then in management.  He loved growing roses and blueberries, fishing, wood working, telling stories and photography. He enjoyed taking his family on trips to Florida for the summer, cooking, fixing cars, building model planes and trains and fish tanks, and spoiling the love of his life; Anna. 

Robert was very versatile and had many skills. He had his pilot's license, drove an ambulance, was a Landlord, a problem solver, and an all around smart guy. He was an excellent provider for his family, enjoyed making up quirky songs, and repairing things around the home with his right hand man Chuck. He will be terribly missed by all who knew and loved him.
