We were saddened to hear of Robert's passing but know of no one who was more deserving of the ultimate promotion.
It has been an honor to be a neighbor of this gentleman, and patriot -- the example he set during his extended illness should be emulated by all facing difficult times.

To "Momma Cross" and the family....thinking about you all on this end and keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. Grateful for the chance to have met Robert the couple of times I did. I know from all the things I'd heard about him through Krista, to say he was a great and well accomplished man on this earth, would be a huge understatement. Your lives are truly blessed for having him in it.
Love and Hugs and wish I could be there on Tues, but again, keeping you all in my thoughts :)
