My heart felt sympathy goes out to Roberts family. He was and will always be a great friend to all that knew him. He always had time to listen or help with whatever came along. He had many great talents and magnified energy. He has left some very deep tracks in our hearts and I will truly miss his quick responses and funny attitude.
He would always tell me " relax take it easy I got this ". Thank You Robert for always being there for me. I miss you.
GODS GAIN OUR LOSS
