Robert spent his childhood in Sapinero, CO with
his sisters, Georgine Norton and Joan Schubarth. He

Robert ran rental properties all his life, starting with
the cabins in Sapinero. His kind heart and generous
spirit will be missed. He enjoyed many interests
including fishing, skiing, woodworking, VW ownership
and reading. Robert owned several Boston Bull Terriers
over the years. Those dogs always meant the world to
him.
There will be a Service held for him at Callahan-

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations
