Robert spent over 38 years being a Production Supervisor at FMC. He was the original do-it-yourself person and could fix, repair, build or restore almost anything. He had many hobbies over the years, but his favorite one was when he retired in 1994 to his hobby farm in Elk River where he enjoyed growing crops, caring for animals, and riding his tractor.

Robert will be missed by all who knew and loved him; the farm won't be the same without him.
