Amy I can’t begin to tell you how very sorry I am for your loss. Robert was one of a kind.  He always had a smile on  his face and laughed at all my silliness. His laugh and love for life will be missed but not forgotten.  

I can say with confidence that Robert left the world full of love, pride, and fond memories. His greatest accomplishments were marrying his loving wife, Amy, and having two beautiful daughters, Keeley and Shelby. I have no doubt he is watching over them still. I will always cherish the 40 years I spent being his niece and will treasure my memories of him - one in particular from Christmas 2022. As difficult as this last Christmas was for my family and I after losing my own mother, I will still remember it as one of the best, thanks to Robert. His humor was a blessing that day and I will always remember him as a kind, loving, and comical person.  Rest in peace, dear Uncle Robert. 

Holding you all in my heart and prayers during this tragic time.  Robert, from the very first time I was introduced to his family, always made me feel like I had been a family member for years.  Friendly, humorous and never shying from a good conversation is what I will always try to carry forward in Robert’s honor.  I will always hold the memory of moving the treadmill to your house several years ago and the new words to the English language that Robert and I invented along that struggle.  He was not just my wife’s uncle, he was my friend.  Amy, Keeley and Shelby, we love you and are, and will always be here for you.

With most sincere regards,
