Robert was a lifelong member of Holy Cross Catholic Church. Robert was baptized, confirmed and also went to school and graduated in the eighth grade from Holy Cross School. Robert became a Knights of Columbus through the church, an honor he was so proud of. Robert loved his Jesus and taught all of us around him how to pray. Robert went to Yorktown High School for the ninth grade. Robert’s dad took him out of school and put him to work on a drilling rig at the age of 15. Robert made this a career working in the state and out of the states on land rigs and also offshore. Robert worked as a roughneck for about 40 years. Robert often had dreams of still working on rigs at 83. Robert loved his job, and it was a joy to listen to all of his adventures. Robert enlisted in the United States Army and was there from 1958 to 1961. Robert was so proud of serving for our country. Robert loved talking to other veterans and hearing their stories. If you had a veteran hat on, he was going to talk to you. Robert was a wonderful daddy, brother, and son, Papaw, and friend. He always made us feel loved and special. We all will forever love and miss him. Until we meet again, we love you and can’t wait to see you soon.
