Robert Lee Talbott Sr.

A veteran of World War II, he served in the U.S. Navy and after the war, joined the U.S. Army and retired from the Army after over 20 years active duty service. He then began teaching JROTC, something he truly enjoyed doing. He had many fond memories of his cadets and taught JROTC for over 18 years before retiring in 1988. He was preceded in death by his wife Dorothy two years ago on March 16.

Services were held Saturday at Fork Union Military Academy in Fork Union, Va., with Rev. Bill Copeland officiating. Burial followed at Scottsville Cemetery with full military honors. In lieu of flowers, family asks donations be made in memory of Bob to Hospice of Piedmont, 2200 Old Ivy Road, Suite 2, Charlottesville, Va. 22903.
