Early in his professional career, it was clear he was to be of service. No matter where Robert was, he influenced lives, and he always had an introduction for you. As he transitioned into the Academic and Athletic environment, many young men encountered Robert on the sideline of the sports fields where he instilled life lessons that transcended far beyond athletics.

Robert’s natural talent for leadership and concern for others was evident. Robert’s influence was witnessed by generations and his profound impact on those he worked with manifested in their families and communities where he provided guidance and respect to those he encountered. That guidance was was used to shape many lives, and he is still standing on all our sidelines guiding us on to do and be the best we can.
