He enjoyed the many simple pleasures in life, sailing his fleet of sailboats and fresh water fishing. Robert owned a camp on Pleasant Lake in Otisfield, Maine, where he spent many summers making warm and fond memories with friends and family. He worked for many years as a purchasing manager until his retirement from the Andrew Wilson Company.
