Robert grew up on a farm in Carmel, NY and learned the value of an honest day’s work. He loved the outdoors and worked as an Arborist until his retirement in 2017.
Robert will be missed by everyone lucky enough to have been on the receiving end of one of his jokes. If friends were counted as currency, then he would have been the richest man in the world. Robert loved many things: coffee, ice cream, the Yankees, Dallas Cowboys, fishing, and old Westerns. But he only loved those things if they involved his grandkids, family and friends by his side.
He is predeceased by a brother, Steve Kirk and a sister, Bonnie St. Auburn.
He is survived by his wife of 51 years, Joyce Ann (Killey) Kirk; two children, Jonathan Ashley Kirk (Carrie Courson) and Robert Michael Kirk, Jr. (Coleen Dillon); his four grandchildren, Emma Grace Kirk (McBrayer), Wilson Walker Kirk, Jack Ellis Kirk, and Payton Elizabeth Kirk and four brothers, Larry, Craig, Keith and Mike Kirk and many cousins, nieces and nephews.
