Vince and I have so many fond memories of Robbie. He took such good care of us years ago. I know that Jean, Carly, and Jim will miss his large presence. It makes me so sad that we won't be able to make his service today. Our family has all of you in our prayers.

Our love and prayers continue for Jean, Carly and the rest of the family during this very difficult time. Reflecting back over the last 25 plus years brings back such wonderful memories and that is what will keep you in our hearts forever. We will miss you but know that you are free of pain now. I'm sure you and Betty Crocker will share many happy moments.
