On February 15, 1958, Robert was united in marriage with Ruby Kindred at the Methodist Church in Washington, Iowa. Robert loved to tease and joke with his friends and family. He always had a quick comeback for everyone including grandchildren, nieces and nephews and more recently workers at the care center. He enjoyed building and carpentry and in his retirement it developed into a love of wood crafting that he and his wife, Ruby, would work on together. He also began carving after retirement and shared his completed projects with everyone. He loved to play games and even learned to play Euchre at age 90 which he enjoyed playing whenever he got a chance. He loved listening to music and playing bingo at the care center and he always had a story to tell. He loved to watch the Iowa Hawkeyes and kept their schedule handy.
