Robert served his country in the Korean War, U.S. Army, Second Infantry Division, where he ran communication wires on the front lines. As a retired airline pilot, he continued to love flying. H flew many different aircraft in his career, including the DC3, Beech 18, Boeing 707, Cessna, and RV6&7. He enjoyed building three airplanes, lots of furniture, a pool table, and a sailboat. There was nothing he would not try to build. Robert was also a gymnast and there are many pictures in the family album of him doing handstands just about anywhere for no apparent reason. Along with Dorothy, he loved their peaceful home of 25 years in Camp Verde, Arizona, with beautiful views of the mountains and the Verde Valley. He passed away on his own terms on May 7, 2017 with Dorothy, Edie and Preston by his side. With tears in his eyes, he said goodbye to this life and went to meet his Savior.
