After years as a successful pharmacist, he immigrated to Canada in 1976 where he retrained as a nurse. One of his proudest moments was earning a B.Sc in nursing from Charles Sturt University, Robert was an accomplished tennis player and fisherman, but his true passion was cricket. He played for Antigua, and later for local teams in Canada. Robert's love for his family was immeasurable.
