To the Seabron Family,

I just learned of Robert's passing today. Words cannot describe how devastated I'm feeling right now, but I take comfort in knowing that he is in a better place. He was a wonderful friend to both my sister and I at NSU. We were bandmates and I'll always remember him fondly. God bless you all.
