Robert was a loving husband, father and grandfather. He was a fisherman who loved the sea. He was strong, patient, adventurous and a dare devil at heart. He loved tinkering in his garage. He was a "Mr. Fix It" who could build and fix most anything and he was generous with these talents, always willing to help a friend or neighbour.

The family would like to thank all those family and friends who showed support and helped in so many ways. Thank you to the doctors, nurses and staff at Wilkinson Memorial Health Centre, Old Perlican and on the 6th floor at the Carbonear General Hospital, Carbonear.
