Robert Barwell

Born on June 16, 1927 in West Melbourne, Florida
Departed on September 3, 2021 in Rockledge, Florida

I came about on June 16, 1927. I don’t remember, but my mother told me. Probably West Melbourne as my mother, dad, and grandmother worked building the road and the St. Johns River bridge.

I graduated from Melbourne High School in 1945. I worked at the Melbourne Naval Air Station for three years in the electric shop until the base closed after the war. In 1948 I started to work at the Melbourne Post Office until retirement about 40 years later. I was in the Army from 1950 – 1952 during the Korean War.

I will be buried at the Melbourne Cemetery. (His friends will gather at the Melbourne Cemetery on September 28, 2021 at 10 am for burial.)
