Robert was born to Joseph and Frieda (Schuette) Hrabovsky on February 16, 1929, in Reedsburg, Wisconsin. Upon graduating from Reedsburg High School, he enlisted in the United States Air Force, where he proudly served his country for 25 years with deployments to the Philippine Islands, Korea and Viet Nam. During his Air Force career, where Robert was a teacher and administrator of the technical schools, he received many awards, including the Bronze Star and the United States Meritorious Award. During this time, Robert also met the love of his life, Ms. Diana Flynt, of Nocona, Texas. They spent over 60 years together raising a family and volunteering in their community.
Upon completion of his Air Force Service, Robert went on to complete his education and graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Master's Degree in Education from Midwestern University. He then spent the next 15 years teaching in the WFISD at Hirschi High School and Barwise Junior High School, where he was honored with several awards in teaching from the West Foundation. Robert had a passion for teaching and concentrated his efforts on initiating the LEAD science program while teaching classes in earth, life and physical sciences.
Robert was a lifetime member of the DAV and the Texas Retired Teachers Association, and a volunteer at Interfaith Ministries. He was a long-time member of St. Paul Lutheran Church, where he held a number of offices including elder, president of the congregation and Sunday school superintendent and teacher.
Along with his parents, Robert was also preceded in death by his sister, and his loving wife, Diana, who passed away on March 2, 2016.
