He then worked for a few years in Michigan before returning to Irwin in 1949. Robert did farm work, and in 1952, began driving a school bus for Irwin. He soon became the school’s bus mechanic. He retired in July 1986.
Robert was active at the Greenridge Steam and Antique Show held each autumn in Irwin. He was a longtime member of the Austin Earl Hiatt American Legion Post #614, Irwin.
