Robert enjoyed coin collecting, gardening and cooking, and discussing passages from the Bible with his daughter, Sarah. His favorite place to vacation was at Foote Lake, Manistique, Mich., in the Upper Peninsula where he enjoyed fishing. Robert also enjoyed an occasional trip to "The Boat" in Michigan City, Ind.
