Not sure what to say?

Thank you Robert for the many years of friendship, getting my job back at UAL, teaching me to be the best loadplanner I could be in the 70's & 80's. Congratulations on 51yrs at UAL, your 31yrs of marriage to Letitia, and all the good & kind things you did for other, especially being & looking like Santa to all ages & animals. I am sure Our Lord Jesus received you w/open arms & completely healed body saying "WELL DONE MY GOOD & FAITHFUL SERVANT" Missing you already. See you on the other side....

I will always remember your smile and the Santa pics with Sofía!

There are those among us who are said to be good individuals & then there are those among us who are genuinely so. Robert falls in the latter category. He was the epitome of kindness & generosity. When I say there are no words that can do justice to the sense of profound loss, I speak not only for myself but for all who has had the privilege of knowing him.

Rest in eternal peace Robert.
