Robert was a true cowboy by heart. He worked as an electrician by day and trained horses and roped at night. He loved teaching the younger kids how to rope and ride. He would check up on all of them to see how they were doing in their events. Robert had several young men and women who he treated as one of his own children. Robert loved all his grand and great grandchildren all the same. He wanted to know how everyone was doing. He was looking forward to having his new leg so he could go fishing. He wanted to travel to Florida to visit his stepson and to Utah to visit his sister’s husband and children. He was also ready to do some local Texas traveling to be able to visit everyone else.
