He lived in apartment 504 at 80-15 41st Avenue. Elmhurst, NY 11373. He died at the Metropolitan Opera House during a performance. He was an opera buff! He was my neighbor and a friend. Robert was cultured and well traveled. I saw him in a video on the Orient Express. His cousin and his wife from Ohio came to take care of the funeral arrangements. He was loved by his relatives.
The Army buried him as Robert Theodore Sacker! He registered as his real name as S A C K E R! But as an actor he was Robert Sacher, in addition to rave reviews for his role in The Alchemist, he had credit cards official papers under the stage name Robert Sacher. His parents were Beatrice Sacker (May 10, 1901-March 28, 1978) and William Sacker (Austria, 1898).
Robert joined the Army and served as a Corporal in Korea. He was extremely proud of having served and insisted on having a military funeral and is buried in Calverton National Cemetery. on Lnng Island.

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come.
I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown.
