Robert was a great neighbor and fabulous man, he had a great heart and my children Auston, Triston, Coleton, Cloe and Kylee loved to hear his stories and always smiled when he would drive by on his electric scooter with lawn equipment in tow. Robert was very caring and will be missed. To the Bravo family we wish you our deepest sympathy.

"I miss you Dad! Thank you for always being there for all of us. There was nothing you wouldn't do for your children and your grandchildren. We are all going to miss your big smile and those stories you told over and over. Now when the family gets together we will be telling your stories and you can look down and smile and laugh with us. We all know how much you loved your garden and sharing with everyone, so I have named my vegtable garden "Dad's Garden" and together we are going to grow some big beautiful tomatoes next year. I am glad I was able to spend all my time with you during your illness and will miss that smile when you saw me walk in and you asking the nurse if I had shown up yet. They would tell me that you were waiting for me. I never realized what a strong person you were until your illness. Have a blessed journey and I know you will be watching over all of us. I miss you so much and I love you dad and I know you loved me too" Alice

Robert, did my lawn at the home my mother lives in at Hanford. Altough I was just an owner who paid him and talked about other things of interest, dururing this time he made me feel as if I was a good friend. He always looked in on my mom for me and always came over and talked to me. I am very sorry to hear of his passing. Our prayers are with his family, he was a very good man.

Robert was a neighbor and good friend for 20 years. He was always sharing the fruit and tomatoes he grew. He was generous and always helpful. We enjoyed his stories and good nature. We will miss him.
