To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die: a time to plant: and a time to pluck up that which is planted: Ecclesiastes 3:1-2

Robert volunteered faithfully with his church, St. Thomas More, picking up and delivering  food to the church and St. Thomas More School. He had a passion to help others and did so endlessly in his community; participating annually in family cookouts. Robert was loved by many and always willing to lend a helping hand.
