B Rob. I met you when I was still a kid because of my sister. My whole family was sad to hear of your passing. Our condolences go out to your family. I’ll never forget night 1. You introduced yourself to my dad as black Rob. He said uhh no ish! lol by the end of the poker night. You had gone from black rob to white rob, poker rob, cheating rob, broke rob lol all the robs were named that night. It was such a great laugh. I’ll definitely miss the jokes, your smile and candor. We reconnected over the years especially when I got sober and clean myself. I am so proud of you for all you overcame and to see a room of people I didn’t know who were all there yesterday because of you and the man you were to them! Woooo! Que the onions, you did great work brother. Rest easy up there.   forever our angel  

Robert, you had such a caring heart. I can’t count the times you came to me to let me know someone was struggling and needed counseling. You wanted your fellow brothers to succeed and you always saw their potential even when they couldn’t. God used you in life and He used you today to bring us together. I want to say thank you for being you. Thank you for not giving up. Thank you for showing us what kindness looks like. I know when you reached your destination, you heard Well Done My Good and Faithful Servant.  

To the family, I extend my prayers of strength and my deepest condolences  during this difficult time. Robert will be missed but will always live in my heart.
