Robert always looked forward to fishing and camping with his boys and they would often go trout fishing around Oklahoma lakes and rivers, taking most of their trips to Lake Watonga and Blue River in Tishomingo, OK. After retiring from nearly 30 years of working in the oil field for Key Energy, he often spent time knitting scarves and hanging out at the Moose Lodge, where he would volunteer his time and join in dart tournaments.

Robert will be remembered for his warm heart, strong work ethic and distinctive laugh that could often be heard before he was seen.
