Robert worked 36 years for Ironworkers Local 377.
He began farming hay in San Martin at the age of 12 and has never stopped working. Robert will be remembered as an iron worker, cattleman and hay grower. Robert always enjoyed telling a good story. There wasn’t anything Robert didn’t know the answer to and if he wasn’t sure he would look it up and learn about it so he could tell people about it.
Robert had a knack for fixing old trucks and figuring things out on his own. He enjoyed meeting the guys at Betsy’s every morning to get his day started.
