He continued to operate the farm through the years, and was employed by Independent Stave Company, now Missouri Cooperage, for nineteen years. He later was a Laclede County Deputy Sheriff and worked in the jail until retiring. Robert was an active member of Harvest Tabernacle – United Pentecostal Church for over fifty years.
His faith was very important to him and he centered his life around his church and his family. He enjoyed fishing, and collecting model cars and trucks. He was a gentle, kind, and patient man who never raised his voice.
His family was very important to him and he especially loved how his grandchildren would steal drinks of his iced tea. Robert was a loving father, grandfather, great-grandfather, great-great-grandfather, brother, uncle, and was a caring neighbor and friend. We celebrate his life and know that his family and friends will treasure the wonderful memories he made for them during his eighty-eight years.
