Robert worked as a mechanic, land caretaker and also worked with Peruvian pasos horses when he was younger. He loved to go fishing, hunting, camping — anything outdoors! He loved riding his motorcycle and made some amazing friends riding bikes together. He loved thrift shops and yard sales. He loved making knives with antler sheds. He loved supporting our country’s veterans.

Robert loved his dogs, he had many throughout the years. He made the best milkshakes in town! He was the ultimate animal lover! Most of all, Robert loved his family. Near or far, he loved them all. He loved his wife, Darline; his kids and grandchildren unconditionally and would do anything for them at anytime. We are all going to miss him so much. However we know that he is with the Lord Jesus and is rejoicing. We still feel him everyday, he’s part of the fabric of our family that will never leave any of us. We love you Dad! May you rest in peace. We will see you again one day.

We will be having a celebration of life for Bob this summer. We will share happy, and funny memories of Bob and have fun in his name.
