Robert’s career included work at two Detroit-area radio stations, serving in the United States Navy in WWII, Chief Investigator for the Pontiac, MI police department, serving as Acting Postmaster for Pontiac, MI, Executive Director of Capitol Hill Associates, instrumental in the planning of President Eisenhower’s 1963 birthday party, and Executive Director of the Republican Party of Washington, DC, beginning the day President John F. Kennedy was killed. Robert was also the State Field Director for the Republican Party of Wisconsin and attended two Republican National Conventions. In 1972, Robert became the Community Liaison Specialist and Public Information Officer for the Small Business Administration in Madison, WI. In 1974 he became Home Secretary to Wisconsin Senator Robert Kasten. In 1978, Robert became Home Secretary to Wisconsin Senator James Sensenbrenner.
Just prior to retirement, Robert was the Branch Manager for the Milwaukee, WI Small Business Administration SCORE office. Retirement did not slow him down. Throughout life, he was an Elk and Kiwanis member, and contributed to his community, providing musical events and served as the President of the Fairfield Glade Community Association and President for the Tennessee National Rifle Association.
Robert was always a man of right and wrong and was always very proud to be a veteran and serve on the USA armed forces draft board in Madison, Wisconsin.
His sense of humor and wit always helped build morale and friendship among his family, friends and peers. Up until his very last days, he was witty and such a joy to be with.
A celebration of his life will be held in the summer of 2022 in Pontiac, Michigan.
Robert is now reunited with Mary Lou, Marie, his parents and siblings and is dancing on the streets of heaven. His favorite song? “Always” ❤️
