ughters, his sister, Patricia Richards (George) of Glen Ellyn, Illinois and two loving daughters-in-law, Sandy Vande Walle (John) of Fort Collins, CO and
Dawn Jordan (Jamie Laviner) of Loveland, CO.

He will be missed by his extended family and many friends including those closest to him in his final days at Loveland Good Samaritan Village particularly the caregivers and residents in Heritage Square.

Robert was a printer by trade who worked locally at Robinson-Warfield and then retired from Colorado State University doing the camera work in CSU's print shop.

Upon retirement in 1990, he and Marvel traveled throughout the United States for a year. They then decided to spend their winters in Arizona and summers in Colorado with family.

His favorite pass times were golf, playing pool, bowling, travel and spending time with family. He was a real DIY guy who could build, fix and improve just about anything. He was always
extending his heart and hand by helping others.

A private service is planned. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Heritage Square
at Loveland Good Samaritan Village or Northern Colorado Honor Flight.
