Robert accepted Christ as his personal Savior at St. Luke M.B. Church at an early age and firmly believed in treating his fellow man with spiritual dignity and respect as was, an integral part of his upbringing.  He received his formal education in the Hollandale and Estill School System and later furthered his education at Mississippi Delta Community College, Moorhead, MS.

His work history was inclusive of Estill Ginn, Hollandale Seed and Delinting, Thompson & Haywood Chemical Company, Delta Western Chemical Company and various other jobs.  In 2006, he retired from Platte Chemical Company.  Robert whose coined name was "Crow" was truly a devout family man.  He was wed to the love of his life, Mary Ellen Whitt for 51 years, 9 months, and 4 days.
