and first son of seven children.
Robert received his formal education with the Brent School system. He accepted Christ
as his Savior at 12 and was baptized at Antioch Baptist Church in Brent, AL.

Korean War.
After 29 years of military service, he retired with honors in 1964. Robert decided to
relocate to the beautiful city of San Diego, CA. The climate was ideal since Robert
enjoyed walking, exercising, reading, and photography. However, something was
missing, so he returned to Japan to marry the love of his life, Mieko. Robert and Mieko
lived happily together until she passed on October 4, 2015.
Robert was an honorable, loving, and giving man. His memory will live on forever in the
hearts of his family and friends.
