Robert was a good friend in high school. He was a truly nice guy. He would do anything for anyone. My thoughts and prayers are with all the family. We never have forgotten all of you. Love and peace to all of you.Diana
To say Mr. Robert was a good person, would be an understatement. He was one of the coolest, nicest, and most down to earth people I ever the pleasure of knowing. I think I can honestly say, they broke the mold when they made him. He was one in a billion, and I will truly miss him. But Jesus needed another angel, and he got one. Matt and Lori, I love yall. If you need anything let me know.Love, Spike
