Robert was born on October 20, 1948 in Springfield, IL to Robert E. & Virginia I Medd. He served 3 tours in Viet Nam as a Radioman in the US Navy. Following his return, he became a Calibration Technician and eventually worked in Unit 3 at the Crystal River Power Plant for Florida Power & Light and later, Progress Energy. Robert was a member at Kelley’s Gym, Main Street Gym, and the YMCA. He also coached soccer and was an umpire with little league baseball while his sons played. He enjoyed playing basketball and baseball himself in his youth. Robert loved animals and was affectionately known by his family as the “animal whisperer”. He loved his family and especially adored his granddaughter Kieran, who called him “Papa”. He spent many happy hours playing with her.
