Prior to living in Highlands Ranch, and Grand Lake, CO, Robert lived in Boston, MA, Overland Park, KS, and Edmond, OK. His love of the outdoors was a guiding principal in his entire life. From a very early age he climbed mountains, skied, and organized camping trips for kids. His love for the outdoors was instilled upon his wife Judy, son Dan, and daughter Lindsay, and every vacation was spent in favorite spots such as Jackson Hole, WY, Vail, CO, Estes Park, and Grand Lake, CO with his family. He loved to travel and see the world and was recently in Africa and France. He passed away in the mountains of Colorado, near Grand Lake that he loved, with his wife of nearly 40 years.
