Robert was a devoted member of Galilee Missionary Baptist Church in Winston-Salem, NC, since childhood before continuing his life in Washington, DC, and Alexandria, VA.

Robert leaves behind six beloved children: Robert McCloud, Tamala (Eric) Boyce, who provided unwavering comfort and peace during his final days, Rodney (Angela) Cooper, Robbie Shore, Sheena Shore, and Sherry Loudin. He is also survived by his nieces, LaSha' (Michael) Robinson, Keasia Lineberger, and Kristian Shore; his nephew Samuel Eugene Shore Jr.; eleven grandchildren; five great-grandchildren; and a host of family and friends who will cherish his memory dearly.
