Arthur J Robert Obituary

Arthur J. Robert Jr., 81, of Williston died peacefully at home on September 2, 2015. Born November 17, 1933 in Burriville, Rhode Island, he was one of five children born to Arthur and Antoinette Robert. He attended Burriville schools and played hockey and football. His athletic skills earned him a scholarship to Norwich University where he continued to play hockey and football. From Norwich, he entered the army and served as a combat engineer officer. following the military he used his teaching degree to teach science in Connecticut and then in south Burlington, Vermont. But Art's greatest love, other than Joan, his wife of 50 years, was the outdoors. He journaled his many fox hunts and fishing adventures in words, pictures and the many stories he proudly told with a big smile spread across his face. Through fishing in Rhode Island and on Cape Cod, he made many wonderful and longtime friends. In the winter when he couldn't fish, he kept himself busy at the snowmobile camp in Errol, NH that he shared with three friends. Arthur was predeceased by his parents and wife Joan, his brother Roland and his sisters Rita, Theresa and Lorraine. He is survived by his sons, Arthur and James, their wives Lisa and Wendy, his grandchildren Bailey, Matt, Connor, Bradach, Jacob, Sarah, and Chloe as well as many brothers and sisters in law, nieces and nephews.
