Robert worked his whole life as a farmer. He truly loved farming as he told his sons many times "If you like your job, its not work". Robert definitely loved his job as a farmer! He leaves a legacy to his family of hard work and his love for both land and family.

Robert enjoyed spending his free time playing cards and visiting with his longtime friends. He also had much admiration for his "Church Family" and friends at Pleasant Hill Church.

The family would like to thank Rest Haven nursing home in Greenville and Day City Hospice where we had nothing but praise for the staff and their services.
