Feeling unchallenged by traditional higher learning, he was primarily self-educated and continuously challenged himself to absorb everything he could about the electronics field. As a young man he was employed by Pacific Telephone, RCA and KGO-TV in San Francisco. In 1972 he went to work for Teletronics Corporation as a video tape editor and was involved in editing TV commercials. Later he worked as an assistant director for children's television shows, including "Sigmund and the Sea Monsters", "Land of the Lost", and several others. For the past 33 years he had his own successful business as a video tape editor on a variety of TV shows including "Facts of Life", "One Day at a Time", "The Jeffersons" and "Seinfeld", to name just a few. He was also nominated for an Emmy for his video tape editing of "WKRP in Cincinnati" and was a member of the Directors Guild and Editors Guild Local 776. Robert was preceded in death by his father, Clarence "Babe" Best. He is survived and will be forever missed by his mother, Genevieve Best, Brother Tom Best (Marian) and his five nephews and one niece: Larry, David and Daniel Best: and Sam (Jeannie), Katelyn and Carson Bates. He'll also be sadly missed by his loving cousins, who were more like sisters, Margaret Fischer and Ginny North and numerous other family and friends. He was especially close and proud of his long-time companion and soulmate, Sharon Baird, one of the original Mouseketeers, who shared his love of movies, TV, gourmet dining and just having fun.
