He was the best husband a woman could want. Robert was an active member of Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church in Mechanicsburg, where he sang in the choir and served on the council. He was a good cook and had his own garden, which earned him one of his many nicknames, “Farmer Bob”. Robert was an avid Pittsburgh Steelers and Pirates fan.
