Robert is also survived by loving son, James (Tiffany); Granddaughters Jennifer (Alex) Strauch, Nikki and Kristin Seaman. He is also survived by sister, Joan (Seaman) Botman and his dear “lady friend” Alice Middaugh.

Although Robert (Our Bob) is physically gone we think of him daily. Many family and friends have reached out with touching memories and thoughts. Many said that he was a “gentleman’s gentleman”. That was Bob...a class act. He always ended his calls with “Love you all” which he did. He loved us all.

Private arrangements have been made for October 2023 aboard the USS Yorktown in Patriots Point, SC.

Memorials may be given in memory of Robert to Cornerstone Hospice Foundation, 2445 Lane Park Road, Tavares, FL 32778 OR USS Yorktown CV10 Association, 40 Patriots Point Road, Mt. Pleasant, SC 29464.
