Robert was a caring,generous man who loved God,his family and others. Bob knew from a very young age that wanted to be a farmer. He often said "I never worked a day in my life because I loved doing what I did."

Bob was community minded. He served on the corporate boards for Lehigh Valley Cooperative Farmers,Atlantic Dairy Coop and Land O'Lakes. He was a member of the Lower Milford Township Planning Committee for many years. He volunteered in various positions at Swamp Mennonite Church where he attended his entire life. Another highlight for Bob was mentoring young farmers both local and from aboard. He assisted a number of young men in the area in getting their start in farming of various types. He and Addie hosted nine young men through a Mennonite Central Committee program that brought trainees from other countries to have a yearlong experience in the States. Robert had a wonderful sense of humor,right up to the end. Just a few weeks ago,his granddaughter asked him how his night was and he replied "Dark!" He was friendly and outgoing,talking with whomever he met. He had friends all over the country from his work with the various dairy boards. He and Addie enjoyed traveling in the United States and abroad to visit the trainees and friends over the years.
