Robert was active in his community and was owner of Scotland Wharf Enterprises. He was a member of the Surry Volunteer Rescue Squad and of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Surry. Quick with a smile, friendly to a fault, and always inquisitive, he was an irrepressible and skilled sailor, adventurer and traveler. He lived, sailed and visited throughout the world. He was a member of the crew that sailed a full-scale replica of the Jamestown ship Godspeed on its recreation of the voyage from England to Virginia, as well as numerous other blue water passages.

If he was around, it was impossible not to know and like him.
