Robert worked as a Plaster Model Maker with Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company for more than 30 years. Robert enjoyed listening to oldies music, as well as some classic rock.  Papa had a passion for the outdoors. He loved life on his 30-acre farm. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, gardening and riding around on his tractor. Papa was a fan of the Cleveland Indians and would often listen to the games while enjoying a fire at his pond. Papa loved baseball caps, and very seldom would you see him without one on.

Papa is very proud of his 5 grandchildren and enjoyed spending time with them and watching them grow into fine young adults.

(Michelle) Murphy of Twinsburg and Carrie (Robert) Ratliff of Commerce City, CO; grandchildren, Taylor (Dustin) Gosseck, Ethan C.S.

(Schuler) Murphy; brothers, Michael T. and Matthew Murphy.
