The TikTok video included family home videos recorded before Steve died in 2006, when Robert was just two years old.
Robert said of compiling the footage: 'It was amazing. [It was] very, very emotional, even just looking through the old archives to find that footage.
'It's amazing for me because every time I see a piece of footage or a photo I haven't seen before, I get a story about dad someone tells me... it gives me a little piece of him back.'
