There are not enough words to describe my wonderful father in law. I always said that one reason that I married Scott was because when I looked at Robert, I knew the kind of man that Scott would become and after 40 years of marriage...my reasoning was correct.
Roberts devotion and love for all things outdoors will live on in his son and granddaughters. We have years of memories that we shared with the entire family and will continue to build on. His straight forward, matter of fact wisdom and advice was always on point and will be missed but can still be heard when I need it most.
One of my conversations with Robert was about changing jobs...I was conflicted...he had a lot of advice but his most noted tidbit was to do things on my terms....not someone else's. That is how Robert lived...on his terms.
Thank you Poppa Robert for the son that you raised to be my husband and for the loving way you accepted me as your daughter in law.
I love you.
