A devoted Boston sports enthusiast, he never missed a Bruins game and his support for his children's activities was unwavering.

After the loss of his beloved Kathleen, Robert moved to Florida, embracing the warmth and community that he found there. He continued to live life to the fullest, often embarking on cruises that spoke to his adventurous spirit and love for the sea.
Those who knew Robert will remember him as a gentle and generous soul, always ready with a kind word and a thoughtful gesture. His legacy is one of love, kindness, and the joy he found in the simple pleasures of life. Robert's memory will be held dear in the hearts of his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.
