Robert loved his family and spending time with them. He also loved his pet bunny, Frisky. Robert loved to tell jokes and pull pranks on people. He considered himself a jokester. Robert also would say he had been a workaholic all his life. He would laugh and tell you he had retired several times from different places and he was very active till about a month ago. Robert would tell you he had no aches or pains and just couldn’t believe it at his age and he really didn’t. He was a lucky man with good health. In John 10:10, Jesus says,” I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance “ (to the full, till it overflows) and he did this every day. Robert was always happy.
