He was awarded the Bronze Star, Good Conduct Medal (6th award), National Defense Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, Vietnam Campaign Medal, Vietnam Cross of Gallantry with Palm, Driver Mechanic Badge and the Meritorious Service Medal. Second only to raising a family and serving his country, he was most proud of being asked to help raise the flag at Fort McHenry during a visit in August 2015. After retirement, he worked at Denbigh Auto Parts 1977-1978, Howmet Corporation (now Howmet Aerospace) 1979-1994 and Wilcox Bait and Tackle for many years.
An avid outdoorsman, Robert was a past member of Banbury Hunt Club and a lifetime member of Colonial Flat Iron Hunt Club and Lafayette Gun Club. He took numerous hunting trips with family and friends where countless memories were made. His time in the military took him to many new places but he said the best trips were with family throughout the United States, Canada and Europe.
The family would like to give special thanks to the medical team at Riverside Hospital and the hospice team at Traditions Healthcare, especially Naomi and Ninja, for the care they gave him during his last few weeks.
Visitation will be held at Altmeyer Funeral Home – Denbigh Chapel, Friday on June 10th from 6-8pm. Services with full military honors will be at Peninsula Memorial Park on Saturday, June 11th at 11am.
