Not sure what to say?

I knew Robert briefly years ago when we went to the same elementary school. He sat behind me in class. We got in trouble for thumb wresting. My family moved, so we lost touch. Later, I met him again in Jr. High church camp (Disciples of Christ). I have always remembered him fondly.

I met Jane about 45 years ago when the Caputo family moved to the Lake Grove neighborhood of Lake Oswego, Oregon. Our families grew and changed, and we went through a lot together. I attended her wedding to Robert when I was 9 months pregnant. Robert suggested that when they arrived at the alter that I run up the aisle yelling "Stop this wedding!"

I knew Robert from High school. I always thought he was the smartest guy in school.

I knew Robert from high school .I havn´t seen him since high school.I´m so sorry to hear of his passing.God bless Robert and his family.

Robert was one of my life-changing friends in high school. It was easy to admire his intelligence and impossible to ignore his innate warm and friendship.

I was shocked to hear about Robert's passing. I knew Robert from Tektronix and especially from the CAE Systems Division. He was always cheerful, knowledgeable, quiet and a joy to be with. An overall great guy.

We were saddened to read about Robert's passing. Though we've lost touch, we have always thought fondly of Jane and Robert and the memories we created almost 40 years ago. One always thinks of old friends existing in a misty, undefined, happy space. Robert will now live there forever with his Red Dragon Sauce and wine cellar. Our deepest sympathy on your loss.
