Robert made invaluable friendships over several years from spending time on the Virginia Fone Net as a HAM (KK4EXP) and enjoyed leading the net meetings every Wednesday evening.

He also loved attending family gatherings and spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren. He will forever be loved and missed.
