Nicholas spent his childhood riding dirt bikes, playing on the lake, and fixing computers with Robert.

Nicholas and Robert often bonded over history facts and movie quotes. Robert was over the moon to be able to see Nicholas get married to his wife, Anna.

Robert was known as the “Tech Wiz” to everyone because he had the answer or solution to any issue there was, ranging from computers, TVs, cars and so much more. Everyone who knew Robert knew that his heart was too big for his chest as he was always willing to help at the drop of a hat. He was kind, giving, and above all a generous man. He would offer the shirt off his own back to people in need, even if he knew he would suffer. Roberts love and legacy will never be forgotten and he will be truly missed.
