Born October 17, 1954 in Philadelphia, he was the son of the late Joseph V. and Marie (Botts) Gable. He was a graduate of the former DelHass High School. Being from Philadelphia, he loved all things Philadelphia including all of the sports teams- the Phillies, Flyers and Seventy-Sixers and How about them Eagles!

He along with his wife, Marie, volunteered their time at the North Wildwood Knights of Columbus breakfasts. He worked for the Facilities and Services Department of Cape May County for 23years. He enjoyed watching old time Westerns like Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Rifleman and old school cop shows like Adam 12, In the Heat of the Night and Matlock. Robert could be described as very loyal and fun loving. He was a bit of a jokester who enjoyed playing pranks on his family and friends. He will forever be known as Mr. Christmas because of his love for the Holiday and decorating. He and his sons would hand cut wooden lawn ornaments.
