After high school he was married to his beloved wife of 63 years and then joined the Navy where he was stationed in California and served for six years on the USS Tidewater and the USS Everglades.

Robert was a dedicated Mason and was a Past Master and served for over 20 years as the Secretary for the Wessagusset Lodge. He enjoyed all Boston Sports especially the Red Sox and also loved attending his grandkid’s sports games and activities.
