Robert, known to those who loved him as 'Bob', studied at the University of Tennessee at Martin and became an early computer programmer at First Tennessee Bank in Memphis in the 1960's. While he later went on to own and run his own computer forms and supplies company, he was best known for his love of boating with friends and family and fishing on the river. He also loved music, from gospel and jazz to classic country. Those who wish to celebrate his life are invited to attend a memorial service on Wednesday, June 1 ^st at 2pm at the Forrest Hill Funeral Home and Memorial Gardens East, 2440 Whitten Rd in Memphis. There will be a short visitation before the  service. People are welcome to send flowers or to make a donation to the Harpeth Conservancy- a charity devoted to protecting the rivers that Bob loved so well. http:// harpethconservancy.org/donate/
