Robert, affectionately known as Mitchell or Mitch to his family, Mace to his friends and Ice Man to many of his coworkers. He embraced retirement by achieving higher education.  Robert received an Associates Degree in Business Administration from Central Piedmont Community College in 2019.  He then attended Winthrop College and completed his Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration.  He was a huge fitness advocate.  He thoroughly enjoyed cutting the grass and meticulously maintained his yard and property.  In retirement, he especially enjoyed being available for our two youngest children shuttling them to and fro.  He was a huge fan of his beloved Philadelphia Eagles.
