Not sure what to say?

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Praying for God’s peace and comfort, Kathy and family.

I’m glad I got to know Robert in the later years; he was a true gentleman in the finest word. I could tell he loved his family dearly and was so proud to be there for them. He was a true patriot as well along with his son Seth, who is serving among our nations finest warriors and his daughter Paige in our finest profession. Rest in peace my friend, we shall meet again one day.

Ms Kathy, Paige and Seth - we are thinking about you and have you in our hearts and prayers.

A fine man!!!

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

Our love and prayers to the family ❤

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
