I only learned of Roberts passing two days ago. I am so saddened but I know Robert is relieved of earthly cares and is in the arms of the God he loved dearly. I enjoyed knowing Robert and stopped once in a while just to say hi and check on him. He was a truly genuine person and I loved him and told him so.

I had not seen Bobby for a long time, we use to play cards at Pat and Ken Tomlins house. He was a very cool guy, and I love to listen to his father Karl and Betty Lou, when they visited the Tomlins. He will be missed.
