He then moved to Farmington, West Virginia with his family where he lived until joining the Army. Robert joined the Army on May 10, 1956, where he served in the Korean conflict. He was discharged on October 16, 1958, and returned to Farmington to work on the family farm. He later moved to Pampa where he met his future wife, Nelda Tennison.
