His seas journeys took him around the world, a world he loved to explore. He spent time on S.S. Suevic, M.T. Marinia and M.V. Lochcarron to name just a few. He loved exploring the countries he visited in particular he enjoyed spending time in New Zealand and Australia. He often spoke of friends he made during his journeys.

After leaving sea he started working with Rolls Royce eventually retiring from the plant in Hillington, Glasgow.

Robert was a very sociable gentleman who loved nothing more than spending time with family and friends. He was quite the ‘Fred Astaire’ on the dance floor and was blessed with a lovely singing voice too.
