He spent years as a truck driver and a custom farmer with Elizabeth as his top hand. He was an exceptional craftsman with woodwork and cabinetry, and was also an avid knife and gun collector. Robert loved music, he enjoyed playing with many friends, whether it was a live performance or sitting in a circle pickin’ and grinnin’.  He also had a passion for baking.  You could find him sitting at the kitchen table making sweets for any holiday, but especially when it came time for the annual Gustine Homecoming Bake Off.
