Our deepest condolences to the entire family. Robert will always be remembered for his wit laughter and smile. A good high school friend and family member. Fond memories.
Dad you taught me how to love unconditionally, how to be a good father
a good son, and a good man. Most of all you taught me how to forgive no matter the situation. For all you taught me. For all that you let me learn on my own the one constant thing in my life was that I know you loved me unconditionally as our father in heaven loved us. Thank you dad! Your son Lil Robert
