Robert T. Decker

On July 17, 2006, the family of Robert Theodore "Spectre" Decker said goodbye to their beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle. The parting occurred at the Tipton Hospital following a courageous nine-month battle with leukemia after having survived lung and colon cancer.

He was a diehard fan of the Dallas Cowboys and also thoroughly enjoyed a good political or nonpolitical debate. He was our couch commando, but his greatest joy in life came from being a grandfather.

All who knew him will remember his strength and courage.
