Robert provided for his family through several different careers including construction project manager, air traffic controller, mechanic, and accounting. Robert and Joy loved to serve; they served several full-time service missions for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He and Joy also loved to travel. They thought the best way to spend a three-day weekend was to get in the car and drive to places like Glacier National Park. Robert was also an accomplished golfer.
