Previously he was Dean and Professor of Biblical Theology at Trinity Ministerial Academy, and an elder in Trinity Baptist Church, Montville, New Jersey. “On February 3, 2016, following a lengthy battle with cancer, Robert was called home by the Savior he loved and proclaimed and longed to see. He left behind his wife, Colleen, and three children, Andrew, Iain-Josiah and Lydia. . . . He also left behind Emmanuel Reformed Baptist Church: brethren whom, for nineteen years, he had loved and labored to see safely to Heaven.” (Lamar Martin in _In Service to the Church_).
