Robert had a great sense of humor and was known as “funny man” to Sarah’s classmates. He was a “second” dad to several of Sarah’s friends.  Robert was a loving husband and father, never missing any of Sarah’s theatrical performances over the years.  He made his stage debut in Big River at The NET in Morrisville, playing two small parts and working as part of the stage crew. His greatest pleasure was hearing Sarah sing at Mass.  He enjoyed gardening, taking care of his lawn, and playing frisbee with our Molly Moo.  Robert was always there if someone needed a helping hand.
