Dear Pam and Ruth,
I am sorry to learn about Robert's passing. I had the pleasure of meeting him thru my brother Dennis at Damon's. He always had a smile on his face, always. I looked forward to seeing him when I went home for a visit.
I hope that the days ahead will be filled with forgotten memories. It's not going to be easy but take solice in knowing that his suffering is over and he's still smiling!
