Robert served the youth of Northern KY across all three counties as a teacher, coach, mentor, and school and district administrator. In the early 1960's, he with Carl Miracle and Roger Faulkner, initiated and developed the Latonia Youth Club which combined the resources of Latonia businesses with those of parks and recreation, schools and volunteers to provide a teaching/ recreational program for children 6 years old to 16 years old. His vision enabled a supervised sports background for thousands of Northern KY kids that otherwise might not have participated in organized sports.

(1949) He proudly served in the U.S. Air Force stationed at Wichita Falls, TX. He was a Ky Colonel, a 32nd Degree Mason, avid golfer, student of chess, and appreciated all things musical.
