Roberts Legacy
Desperado
Robert spent the majority of his life in the Gardner, KS Community. He worked as a mechanic and business owner for more than forty years in Gardner. Robert had an old school style of analyzing mechanical problems that he learned from experienced mentors throughout his career. He was especially talented at repairing transmissions from many eras. His specialty centered on 1950's-1980's Truck, Hot Rod, and Muscle Cars. One of Roberts passions was Drag Racing, and he was very good at it. He started racing in the mid 1970's and was still racing when he passed away. He often went by the nickname of "Desperado". He also collected, built and showed a wide variety of show cars and motorcycles as you can clearly see in the photo gallery.
