Not sure what to say?

One of my favorite memories was when we were teenagers he said to me, "You and I are the closest in the family, huh?"

Robert, I have pictures up where I can see you always, like pictures of you and Chappie playing the guitar. I like to talk out loud to you. It makes me feel close to you. I love you so much. I miss you more than anybody in the family who has gone on to Heaven. Sometimes when I'm down, I ask God to please let me be with you, Jack and Mommie and Dad'n. But, in His time, I know I will be with you all and we'll be totally happy, loving on Jesus. Writing this really makes me want to be...

Rest In Peace! Rock On my friend.

Thanks for the Robo Baubles CD, Rob. I'll treasure it always. When the space Katz song just popped up like that on my new MP3 player, the 1st song it ever played, you sounded so clear, like you were right there... And it is such a good song I wanted to e-mail you to tell you... but now I've found your obit instead. I guess you were trying to tell me goodbye...

Rob my friend we had some great times in Fla. Those are times I will always look back on with joy. You were a truly great musician, and it was my absolute pleasure to have played the drums on the "Feral Space Katz" CD. Good-bye my friend.

Many happy times we have shared over the years Rob, Stones concert, your recording studio time of "Space Cats" with our Katie on vocals too. Halloween, Christmas, Birthdays, etc. Many shared memories with much laughter and plan old fun and always good music mixed in with it all. You are Nancy's brother, but you always treated me like a sister too. I Love you Brother! Rest in Peace!

So sad to hear this news of my dear old friend Rob. We worked together in Daytona ,became friends and then had lots of concerts to attend. We always had fun.

My Robert, high school mate and college mate, every time I look at a picture of you, I just can't believe that my sweet and kind brother, Robert is not here with us any more.. I don't know if I'll ever be able to believe it. I love you so much. I wish I had told you more while you were here. Missing you really hurts. But, you know what's great? You do not have any pain any more.......just joy. I bet it's fun hanging around with Mommie, Dad'n, and Jack, like you used to talk about. We...

Robert, my first baby brother. I can't believe you're gone. I'll look forward to seeing later. Love, Oldest--Catherine
