Robert was born July 26, 1933, in Cedar Rapids, the son of Howard and Ruth (Wright) Stork. He attended country school in northwestern Cedar County before transferring to Lisbon, where he graduated in 1950.

Robert committed his life to all things agriculture. Over the years, he found joy in livestock production, crop farming, seed corn sales, training and sharing his beloved Haflinger team and much more. He volunteered his time in Cedar County to 4-H and FFA organizations as well as other ag related endeavors. In his late 60s, Robert began a new endeavor, working part time at Lloyd Table Company.

With the help of the people that knew and loved Robert, he planted more than 500 trees in recent years.

He was preceded in death by his parents; wife, Lucille; and a great-grandson.

The family suggests that memorials be made to a conservation charity of your choice.
