Robert "Ned" loved to hunt and fish, it was his passion. If Robert wasn't driving a boat, he was off to catch wild game. Many nights and weekends, "Ned" was off with his best friend Matthew "Corn" to catch the prey of the night or any wild game lurking in the river. He was a survivor of the land, if he caught it, he brought it home, cooked it, and ate it......
He was a father and friend to many. Respecting his request, Robert Paul Blanchard will be cremated and his ashes spread along his favorite waterways.
