He married Sandra Sue Hill Dec. 23, 1950 in Clovis, New Mexico. He served two years of service in the Air Force in the late 1940s. Robert and Sandra began their 67 year journey of marriage in Lubbock, where they raised five children. (Michael, Tim, Teresa, Ross and Neal) Sadly, they outlived Ross and Neal, who are both buried in Graham. Robert had been a bricklayer, house builder, and remodeler for 68 years. In 1969, he became a member of the Sunset Church of Christ in Lubbock. Once a member, he became consumed with the life religion afforded him. Two years later, in the summer of 1971, he graduated the Sunset School of Preaching and moved his family from Lubbock to Reedsport, Ore., where he served many years as the preacher for the Reedsport Church of Christ. In the 1980s, it was time to come back to Graham, the home of his mother, Mae Madera. Since that time, he has been a member of the Eastside Church of Christ. Survivors include his wife, Sandra Calcote of Graham; daughter, Teresa Downer of Reedsport, Ore.; sons, T.K. Calcote of Graham and Michael Calcote of McKinney; seven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
