I was first introduced to Robert by Scott Batterman at the young age of 16-17 when Scott called me to help bring in hay. Robert made me feel at home right away and I guess he thought I was ok too as he didn’t seem to mind when Scott would get me to come help when the extra hand was needed. We had a lot of fun with Robert’s easygoing and joking personality. In the years that I either worked for/with Robert I always enjoyed the pranks, I’m pretty sure he did too and conversations we would have of life in general. He made a lasting impression on a young mind back in those late teen years. My sincere condolences to Dianne, Keith, Teresa and family.
