A life-long area resident, he graduated Columbiana High School in 1944 and served his country in the U.S. Army during WWII. Along with his twin brother Richard, Robert was deployed overseas where both fought in the Battle of the Bulge. Robert was injured; unfortunately, his brother Richard was killed. Robert was very proud of the Purple Hearts they both received for their involvement in this battle.

An active member of First Christian Church, Robert served as Deacon and worked with the church trustees. He was a Ruritan and belonged to American Legion Post 290 in Columbiana, where he had served as Sargent of Arms for the Color Guard.
