Not sure what to say?

Thinking of you on your birthday. You are very missed.

RiP I always liked you and your cousin Marcia

I was friends with Robert, through work back in the 80’s. I have been looking for him, off and on, for years on social media and just found this today, in 2022. I LOVED Robert, as a friend. We worked in the same department and went to lunch every.single.day.Nobody made me laugh the way he did and we laughed.hard and ALOT. To this day, if I hear Anita Baker, I think of Robert, he loved her. Awww Rest well, Robert. I wish I found you sooner.

Robert will be incredibly missed. He was kind, funny, caring, selfless; a true gentleman. He was a hard worker and never stopped improving himself, as evidenced by him going back to school as an older adult to earn his bachelor's degree. He was one of my youth leaders at church and helped bring me closer to God. I am blessed to have known him. I'll miss you buddy.

Robert will be missed by many. I had the privilege of working with him at both Sprint and Paychex. He was my backup buddy and I could always rely on him.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Joyce, I am so sorry for your loss. May you and your husband feel at peace knowing the Lord wanted Robert to be at his side. I am sorry I can't come for the service as I care for a lady with dementia on Tuesdays. Love, Alice

My deepest condolences to Robert's mom and dad! May you take comfort in the memories you have of Robert...I know I will! I worked with Robert at Sprint. It will always be said he was a nice dresser and always carried himself with such grace. I will forever cherish our days at Sprint as part of the "union break" gang. He was affectionately called Mr. Crocker which came out of respect. He always called me Mr. Usher. I will never forget Robert walking down his street to watch my son's...
