Robert was loved by all who met him, often labeled with numerous nicknames such as "Big Gates," "Big Moe," Daddy Mitch to name some. Robert retired and relocated from Midway, Kentucky, back to Hart County in 2013. He became reacquainted with his high school sweetheart and married Bettye in 2015. She was a retired nurse and the love of his life. He shared the last 7 years of his life.

They both became members of Woodsonville Baptist Church under the leadership of Rev. K.T. Ford where they remained faithful until his health problems prevented him from going.

The family has chosen to honor his wishes and will be having a private ceremony.
