Youngest child of eleven children from parents Levy and Florida Nugent.
Young Robert's life ended tragically on his way to visit his sister, Melina and her three-month old daughter, Dorothy.
Along the route, a man driving a Model-T Ford offered him a ride and, rather than walking the rest of the way, Robert accepted. Instead of climbing in the cab, he took a seat on the running board behind the truck. A ways down the road, an oncoming vehicle struck Robert - knocking him off and running him over; he was killed instantly.
Robert's sudden and tragic death left an irreparable hole in his family members' hearts.
