Cultivating Faith & Friendship

Robert and Dottie raised three children together, two of whom have passed away. His family legacy continues through nine grandchildren, four great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild — a blessing he is incredibly proud of.
For 40 years, Robert worked as a harvest walker, a role that allowed him to spend time outdoors, work with his hands, and contribute to the farming community he loved. His appreciation for farm life has always been strong, and he enjoyed putting in the work needed to keep things running smoothly on his own farm.
Robert accepted Jesus into his heart at the age of 15, and his faith has guided him throughout every season of life. His gentle spirit and strong foundation in Christ are evident to everyone who knows him.
Here at Baptist Homes of Vandalia, Robert enjoys playing cards with his friends, sharing good conversation, and spending time with the people who mean the most to him — his family. He is a joy to have in our community, and we are grateful for the kindness, wisdom, and friendship he brings to our home.
