This was about 5 years ago I was at Brenda and Roberts. That day he took me on a ride on his motorcycle (that he loved!!) and climbed my first lighthouse with me! Such a great family! You will be greatly missed!!
Robert was one of the best. I was blessed for knowing him. RIP my friend.

Just thought you'd enjoy this picture also.
It was a pleasure and an honor to know this man and to all him my friend! Loved to hear him sing, what an amazing voice!
Dress up night at the Moose. Robert never missed a night where it was a theme. what a trooper. Always ready to enjoy good friends and have a good time, never afraid to let down the guard for a minute and dress up. Such a sport.
Robert was o much more than that, he was truly a great man and a friend forever. He was one of the kindest men I knew that although he could get a point across, never raised his voice. He stood my his friends no matter what and you could call him anytime day or night and he would give you the shirt off his back. Robert loved life itself and he and Brenda went on many adventures. I was lucky enough to be one of the friends he choose to help him finish his bucket list. Off to Key West we went. He was sick then, but his mind was set and he made it. He did a few things not everything he wanted, but he went and that is what mattered to him. Robert was a very determined man. Robert served our country in the Viet Nam War, although he never talked about it, it left scars in his soul, He did what his government sent him to do to keep us safe. He is a hero foe that among many other things in his life. I could talk about this great man all day, but I will let others share their stories. I just know this angel earned his wings and he will be greatly missed here on earth. Love ya Bud, Sonya
