He graduated from East Carolina University in 2014 with a degree in Criminal Justice. Robert loved sports and the stock market, but his pride was in his school and being “Uncle Bobby” to his 3 nephews. Robert loved others deeply and was quietly reliable. You would never know he was in the room until someone needed a hand and with no hesitation he would be the first to lend his. Robert will be sorely missed by his family and friends.
