Robert, known to his friends and family as Bob, lived a life filled with love, laughter, and cherished moments. He was a man of simple pleasures, finding joy in fly fishing and riding his horse. He was an avid reader, as well as a Texas Rangers baseball fan. These passions allowed him to connect with nature and find peace in the serene beauty of the outdoors. Bob will be remembered for his kind and gentle spirit, his unwavering love for his family, and his dedication to those he held dear. His presence will be deeply missed, but his legacy of love and compassion will continue to inspire all who were fortunate enough to have known him.
On June 6, 1981, Bob married the love of his life, Dana Moss, at Wilshire Baptist Church. Together, they built a life full of love and shared experiences, creating a strong and enduring bond that served as a source of strength and comfort throughout their lives. They are former members and Elders at First Christian Church, Richardson, TX.
