Robert Tovar

Robert Tovar works for NFI Transportation Company which is out of the state of New Jersey.  It has been around for 95-96 years.  He first started as a driver and then he began to train drivers.  He and his wife, Victoria, have been coming to Holy Spirit since 2013.  They have two kids, Robert and Victoria, who are 22 and 20 years old.  Robert was born in Mexico and lived in Baja or La Paz on the California peninsula, he moved to Dallas at 16 years old and graduated from North Dallas High School.  His wife, Vickie is from Sanger, TX.  His parents live with them and are in their 80’s.  They live in Duncanville on Rolling Ridge.  He also has 3 older sisters.  Robert has been involved in ACTS and faith formation.  He had joined the choir for about 6 months and mentioned Nel Mancenido as a very good singer.  He attends the 9am mass on Sunday.  He likes to barbecue, ride motorcycles, and work on cars.  Tom Greco is who recruited Robert to the Knights and he has been influenced by John Owen.  He became a Knight in 2014.  His goal is to make sure that his kids find their way.  It helps him to know that being close to God and going to church are part of their faith because without it you might be lost or even divorced.  Thanks Robert for spending time with me in our home.
