Robert Patrick Talbot began a new adventure on January 14, 2022. He is survived by his dog Captain America; wife Carole; children Rob, Teri, Trisha, and James, and most importantly, his grandchildren Taylor, Tess, Jackson, Ivy, Henry, and August.

He was a hard-working Family Man and Outdoorsman whose infectious laugh will live on in the hearts and minds of all who knew and loved him. Always the showman and life of the party, Rob told a story with such artistry and sharp wit you'd swear you were there by the time he reached his punchline.

He had a vibrant and magnetic spirit that left a lasting impression on all he encountered. "Tud" was a fiercely protective and loyal grandfather, father, husband, son, brother, uncle, and generous friend. He lived hard and loved harder. In honor of the storyteller of all storytellers, his family invites you to share any memory or adventure that enriches his legacy and reminds us all how he was indeed one of a kind. "Oodalolly, shoot the turtle." In lieu of services, there will be a Celebration of Life; details to follow.
