Robert was born on January 3, 1937, to Nick and Theresa Hellman. He went to elementary school at Prospect Valley and later went to St. Thomas College in North Battleford.
Robert loved farming and raising cattle, he spent his whole life enjoying his work! Robert and Delores built the farm in 1959, where they raised their family. They stayed on the farm until 1999, when they moved to Medicine Hat. Robert loved being involved in different groups in Richmound, which included, being a lifelong member of the Knights of Columbus, as well as being a charter member of the Richmound Lions Club, since 1984. He was also a member of the Richmound Credit Union Board, The Richmound School Board, St. Mary’s Parish Council and the Holy Family Parish council as well as being on the team of workers there for many years. One of his greatest accomplishments was being on the Fox Valley #171 RM council, which he enjoyed from 1979 – 1995. Robert and Delores also purchased and ran Hellman Motors in Richmound in 1964.
Robert was a very faithful servant of the Lord, he prayed for everyone, all of the time, and interceeded on their behalf.
He loved his family and was an amazing father and grandfather. He had a special place in his heart for his grandchildren and great grandchildren, his eyes would light up when they walked into the room.
Robert loved the staff at Meadowlands, and it was a mutual respect. He always shared candy with the staff, and insisted they take one, or two, every time. The family would like to thank all the staff on 5E, especially Jolene and JaraLee, who took such loving care of grandpa. They would also like to thank the staff on the 3rd floor at St. Joseph’s, the doctors and nurses were amazing.
