I grew up across the street from the Perchak Family. Was speaking to a family member about Bobbie, Billy, and Chuck (Back in the neighborhood). Always thought highly of the three of them. Very sad to know that Robert has passed. Was thinking about Physics and how Robert was interested in that field, as my eldest son is now a budding Physicist. Was checking to see where he may be, and this is what came across. Rest in peace.

I worked with Bob at both Avery and Monarch. He was a good friend and one of the smartest people I knew. His smile and laugh would light the room!
