Robert DEFOE

To Sue and all of "Bobby's" family: I remember Bobby well as my "helper" whenever I was doing jobs and chores for my grandparents (The Porters), across the street on Fairmount Place. Bobby's place in my life was an invaluable lesson to a teenager in learning compassion, and understanding, and unconditional love--and a lot of patience. If our lives are to be measured as the ripples from of a pebble dropped in a pond, Bobby surely made ripples in this heart of mine.
