Robert loved to play any type of game (and was very competitive!), especially cards, softball, and online gaming. He joined the U.S. Navy as soon as he graduated from high school, he served for 18+ years before taking early retirement in 1995. He loved computers so he became an IT Technician, working for several companies, and retired from 3M in 2021. He and Tammy loved to travel, especially road trips and visiting his bucket list destinations (Alaska, Australia, New Zealand and his favorite Ireland, to name a few). He was an avid sports fan, especially the Minnesota Vikings and Twins. His biggest passion was for his family, and his favorite title was Grandpa!
