I became acquainted with Robert years ago while playing in the Mercer County Major Softball League. Although I lost touch with Him, I had never forgotten the well spoken gentleman who made Trenton a better town and impacted many ! A true original who will be missed. Peter A. Hetmanski

I am so sorry for the loss of your husband father grandfather an friend
This wonderful caring man was a savior to our family back in 1983. If it weren’t for him the man who murdered my brother would not have been caught an sentenced to life in prison. This gentleman visited my mother an father every year on my brothers anniversary up until the death of my mother in 2006. I will forever be grateful to him an I will always have a special place in my heart for him. My god bless you an RIP...
