Canton, GA - Our precious dad, grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend passed from this life, and he will be forever missed.

Robert was funny and kind but most of all he was adventurous. He was always on the go whereby car, truck, motorcycle, or boat. He loved to fish and loved spending the day on the water with his brothers and nephew. Robert also loved rambling the mountain roads on his motorcycle. The thing Robert is remembered most for is his infectious smile with which he was always seen. We know he loved us as much as we love him.
