Aunt Marie and family-

I am so sorry to hear about Uncle Robert's passing. Uncle Robert was an extraordinary person-- always upbeat and a such a great sense of humor. I loved going with my dad to meet Uncle Robert for breakfast at Yankee's where I got to hear all his funny stories about real estate appraising. He was truly one of a kind and will be missed immensely. Please know that I am thinking of you.
