He attended Catholic school for his entire scholastic career until his graduation as a senior in high school at St. Pius in 1974. He attended Lewis University for computer classes, and shortly after enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. While he was on active duty, he married the love of his life, Diane Chavez, from Gary, Indiana. They lived as newlyweds in Buford, South Carolina for 1 year until he was sent overseas to Okinawa, Japan for 1 year before making it back home stateside to North Carolina. That is where he finished out his enlistment before going back home to Chicago. Robert and Diane got their own apartment on the Northside, and started their lives together. He was a computer programer post military for over 23 years that moved him all over the country coast to coast, until finally retiring in 2017. At that time, Robert and Diane were in the Bay Area of California, and then came back to their sons locally near Cincinnati, Ohio. Robert loved watching ball games, rooting for the Bears, Bulls, Cubs, and Blackhawks. He loved his family most of all, and was surrounded by them in his last few years.
