Robert proudly served in the United States Army during the Korean War. He then returned home and set about to open the first car wash in St. Louis and become the owner-operator of Dairy Maids. Robert was a man of many talents and hobbies. He loved to practice his golf swing or seek out nature by hunting deer and turkey or fishing. He also enjoyed riding in the rodeo when he was a young man, and plucking out tunes on his guitar. He was dearly loved and will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
