From March 3, 1949 until the time of his retirement, Robert farmed with his family. Robert enjoyed fishing, hunting, and woodworking. He took pride in his farm and enjoyed “tweaking and modifying” his farm equipment to make it work better. The most important part of his life was spending time with his family and friends. He hosted many large gatherings at the family farm. We will always remember his famous BBQ chicken he cooked up with the help of some of his brothers, which had the “secret Polish seasoning”.
