Robert graduated from Caledonia Regional High School and last worked at Line-X in Moncton where he enjoyed working on vehicles giving them a protective coat and making them look cool. He was a great guy who would help anyone that needed it, he was always smiling and kidding around. He enjoyed hockey and had a great time playing with the boys on Monday and Tuesday nights, as well as any pick up games he could play. He enjoyed motocross, snowboarding, baseball and also the occasional game of golf. He was an avid Maple Leaf and Blue Jays fan and also enjoyed the NFL. He lived his life to the fullest and had an adventurous spirit. He loved being with his family and friends. There are many pictures of Robert always with that great smile or having a laugh, he was known for his tormenting and great sense of humour. He had a very special place in his heart for his niece, Taylor who he enjoyed spoiling and spending time with.
