2014, Gresham, OR, USA

Greg and I were overwhelmed while moving and were in need of help. Robert was there every step of the way. During one of our multiple drives across the country, in a (very uncomfortable U-Haul), we realized Greg had left his heart medicine in VA. Problem was we were already in Nebraska 😩. Panicking we called Robert (we knew he’d be the first to answer) and asked if he could mail it out to us. He gladly said he would. We expected to see it in a couple days but early the next morning we got a call from him saying “Hey, I’m at PDX and should be at y’all’s place in about 30 minutes.” This man had rushed to book a flight, spent his own money on it and on a rental, flew clear across the country with no notice without hesitation to make sure someone else was taken care of. He refused to take a penny from us. He stayed with us a few hours and, even though we offered him a bed and welcomed him to stay as long as he wanted to, he politely declined because as he said “I gotta get back to my babies” meaning his grandbabies. That’s just who he was and why he was so loved and will be missed dearly. 😢 ❤️

Blessings of peace, comfort, and prosperity to the family. Robert was so helpful during our move to Oregon. So many offered to help but we’re never available but he was there any time we needed any help, no matter if he was busy or not. He was a beautiful soul and special man and it’s my hope that all of us who loved him so dearly find peace and feel his presence around us always.                                                                            “The Thing Is” by Ellen Bass.                                        to love life, to love it even
when you have no stomach for it
and everything you’ve held dear
crumbles like burnt paper in your hands,
your throat filled with the silt of it.
When grief sits with you, its tropical heat
thickening the air, heavy as water
more fit for gills than lungs;
when grief weights you like your own flesh
only more of it, an obesity of grief,
you think, How can a body withstand this?
Then you hold life like a face
between your palms, a plain face,
no charming smile, no violet eyes,
and you say, yes, I will take you
I will love you, again.

I never imagined I’d be saying goodbye. I thought you’d live to see the boys graduate, and that you’d always be here. It’s hard to imagine how things are gonna be now. I hate even thinking about it. know you want us to all be strong and happy we will do our best. So many stories have been shared over the past few days (some I’ve never heard and others I’ve heard 1000 times) and I’m glad because it makes you feel closer to us but we know you are close anyway. I remember being 9 or 10 and playing Brad Paisley’s “He Didn’t Have To Be” for either your birthday or Father’s Day. That’s the closest I think I ever seen you come to crying. You became an “extra” dad and never once treated me and my brothers like anything other than your own flesh and blood. I hope I’m at least half the dad you didn’t have to be. I love you dad.

I am heartbroken to hear the news of Robert's passing. Fun, sweet, unique, caring, respectful, are just a few words to describe him. To know him was to love him. So thankful for the memories he gave us. Rest In Peace

Do not weep for me for I have not gone.

I am the wind that shakes the mighty Oak.

I am the gentle rain that falls upon your face.

I am the spring flower that pushes through the dark earth.

I am the chuckling laughter of the mountain stream.

Do not weep for me for I have not gone.

I am the memory that dwells in the heart of those that knew me.

I am the shadow that dances on the edge of your vision.

I am the wild goose that flies south at Autumns call and I shall return at Summer rising.

I am the stag on the wild hills way.

I am just around the corner.

Therefore, the wise weep not.

But rejoice at the transformation of my Being.

(Author Unknown)

The first day of Mabon, what a sign. Just as the geese fly south to return in summer so shall you. You are still everywhere around us the wind is your voice and it has blown with force at times today to remind us of this. May comfort find all who have known you.

~Aileen (Aoelus)
