After being honorably discharged from the Air Force, Robert came back to New Orleans to be a New Orleans Bridge Police Officer. While he was employed as a bridge police officer, he pursued the love of his life after giving her a ticket for breaking down close to the bridge on her way to go to Our Lady of Guadalupe Chapel in New Orleans to attend St. Jude’s Novena. He is survived by his devoted and loving wife of over 54 years, Mrs. Amelia Christiano Hollywood. He worked many jobs to support his family while becoming an electrician.
