In 1982, Robert graduated from Pace University in Brooklyn, New York, with a degree in Management Information Systems and had a successful banking career of over 20 years at JPMorgan Chase Bank in Manhattan, New York. As a teenager, Robert loved going to Coney Island in Brooklyn, New York. Robert also loved visiting and spending time with family. His nieces particularly looked forward to his visits as children because he would fill their pockets with tons of loose change and take them on fun-filled trips to amusement parks or a local swimming pool. Robert also had a love for travel, taking pictures and running marathons. He ran in several 5K and 10K marathons. In 1997, Robert ran in the New York City Marathon. He was also a member of the "Rochdale Runners" club of Manhattan, New York. Robert relocated to Richmond, Virginia in 2008 and was a proud resident of The William Byrd senior community. During his life, Robert formed two very close friendships with Azalee Williams-Kinard of Pinewood, South Carolina and Pat Williams of Staten Island, New York.
