At a very young age Robert joined the Army Air Corp during WWII as an airplane radio operator. After completing his enlistment contract, Robert moved to Michigan where he served 24 years at the Lansing, Michigan Fire Department. After retiring from the Fire Dept., he became a licensed electrician and continued his working career with General Tire Company while simultaneously maintaining a family farm in Ionia, Michigan.
Robert was a creative man, made up of many strengths. He was an artist at heart. He loved sketching and painting or just sketching on a card to give to a family member. He loved working with wood and built many things that will last long into the future. He loved everything in or around the water, including scuba diving, laps in the pool, walks on the beach or swimming in Lake Michigan.
