Robert’s parents, Jon and Shirley Lindstrom relocated back to Merrill, WI when Robert was three years old. He was later confirmed at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Merrill.

Robert moved to Columbus, IN in 2002, to be closer to his aunt, Sue Lindstrom, and his grandmother, Amelia Lindstrom. Robert worked primarily as a restaurant manager in Columbus, where you may have seen him at the Garlic Tree, Montana Mike’s, Joe Willy’s, Fazolis, and other locations around town. Most recently, he worked in the meat and seafood department at Kroger Marketplace. Robert loved listening to rock and roll music, and jazz music, feeding the birds and squirrels in the backyard and watching classic television shows like MASH and Star Trek in his free time. Most importantly, Robert loved his Green Bay Packers. You would be hard-pressed to find a bigger Packer fan than he. Go Pack, Go!
