His passion for driving was legendary; no journey was too long, and no reason too small for a leisurely drive. It was on those endless roads that Robert found peace and perspective, always eager to explore new horizons. A graduate of Paris High School, Robert was a man who embraced life with a generous spirit and a hearty laugh. Known for always having a joke at the ready. His gentle, giant-like presence and big heart made him a friend to many and a stranger to none. He never missed an opportunity to make a new friend. Robert leaves behind a loving daughter, Angela, and her husband Michael Emery; his sister Anita Reuter and his brothers Steve, Mike, and Dean Davis. His legacy of love continues through his grandchildren, Skylar Emery and Jade Emery, and two great-grandchildren.
