Robert’s early years were shared with his brother Frankie, creating memories that were filled with laughter and camaraderie. Robert was a quiet man who let his actions speak for himself. He found serenity in nature and enjoyed fishing and hunting when he found the time. In 1996, Robert married Emma Tolliver of Harrisonburg, VA. Together, they embarked on a journey of love, partnership, and family. They did not share any children together, but their union gained him four bonus children who he treated like his own.
