Robert Hindman was reunited with his beloved wife Kathleen Hindman on March 26, 2008.

Robert was bom July 15, 1945, in Seattle to Charles and Myrtle Hindman. Robert served his country for three years in the Army at Ft. Ord in California in an infantry unit. Robert met the love of his life one day while sitting on a dock at Green Lake in Seattle. A German Shepherd dog ran up to him followed by a beautiful crimson haired young woman from England named Kathy. Kathy was shocked when her dog ran up to him because her dog didn't like anyone but her. That was a sign from above for her and he was in instant love as well. They were married Sept. 8, 1966. Robert worked for Lockheed Shipyards for a few years then worked in the drywall field with his best friend John Randolph for almost 20 years before he injured his back saving another man's life. Robert and Kathy were married over 40 years and had five children: Kevin, Dennis, Alwyn, Ronald, and Heather. They lived in many different towns and cities before settling down in Moses Lake in the late 80s. Robert's greatest loves were hunting with his son Dennis and cousin Jerry, fishing with his grandchildren and family friends, playing pull tabs at Danny's Tavern, and most of all making Kathy happy. He has joined his forever love Kathy, his mother Myrtle and father Charles, his brother Gene, and his sister Shirley. He leaves his five children Kevin, Dennis (Debra), Alwyn (Cory), Ronald (Monica), and Heather (Scott); grandchildren Linda (Todd), Ashlin, Reva, Shaudai, Tommy, Geena, Justin, Ronny, and Jaden; great-grandchild Dorsin; cousins Jerry (Carol) Mayes, and Earl Holmes; and best friends John and Debra Randolph and their children Marvin and Crenna and many other close friends and family.
