I will miss you. I was so sad to hear about the news. I remember youo not wanting to get up in the morning or clean up your room. Stashing everything underneath your bed even though I warned you about doing locker checks. Then when I did the locker checks you would take everything out of your locker and putit on your bed just so you could get a pass on your inspection. I thought that was funny because you figured a way to do it without gettting in trouble. i will see you when my time comes. don't try to out smart the angels. You are in God hands now and God has never steered anybody wrong. Do what he says.
Love,
Ms. Samuel

Rob, you were a very sarcastic but funny person I know, I remember when we used to joke around about pool, basketball, and you always would want to play madden. Those are the memories that i would cherish. Your in a better place now, your gone but never forgotten....R.I.P.

I had two classes with Robert and he made an immediate impact with his sense of humor and wit. He was always very friendly and treated you like he had known you for years. Its a shame to lose such a promising young man too soon

Robert:
Your presence in my class at SCCC made such an indelible impression on me as a faculty member. Your politeness, sincerity, spirituality and zest for life are the things I will remember most about you. It is students like you that make teaching the rewarding experience that it is. May you rest in peace.

My heart goes out to Robert's family. I was in his algebra class @ SCCC and Robert was always talkative and well mannered. You should be proud of your son for being such a good kid. I will always remember his smile......
