Born in Red Bank, NJ on May 11, 1957. He graduated from Red Bank Catholic and shortly thereafter traveled cross-country to California with his dog Maggie, where he remained for approximately two years. Upon his return, under the tutelage of his Uncle Roy, he joined IATSE Local 52, Queens, NY. After 17 years in the film industry, he went on to operate his own carpentry business in Landenberg, PA and then moved into corporate facilities management, retiring from Erickson Living, Maris Grove in January 2021. In June of 2021 Robert and his wife moved to Norris, TN where he could “fish every day of the year.” He will be best remembered for his sense of humor, infectious laugh and mischievous antics!
