He worked tirelessly for the conservation of our natural ecosystems and cared deeply about the lives of the vulnerable and the small. Robert advocated for the mental and physical benefits of having  a good nature walk, appreciating the beauty that was every day. To be in his company was to be invited to the party, he always made you feel welcome, and made sure to enjoy life as hard as he worked. Robert lived and loved completely.  He was an incredibly intelligent man, and a loving father, son, and brother.
