Robert was a great friend to many and will surely be missed by the town of Mason.
He grew up in Milano, Texas and lived for many years in the Austin/Dripping Springs area before moving to Mason, Texas in 1985, where he met his wonderful wife and best friend, Elaine.
Robert was very involved in the community and was always willing to help whoever needed it. He was a huge supporter of the school and loved to make all the football, basketball and baseball games. He was one of the students' biggest fans.
Robert was a contractor most of his adult life and loved building things and always wanted to be outside. Part of his hobbies were watching Nascar and being in the country with his cows. His grandchildren were one of his greatest joys and a big part of his life.
