Not sure what to say?

Many years ago, as we sat around a table with several friends, Robert relayed an experience he had when he was about 12 years old in an emergency room. I believe it was a ruptured appendix which required emergent surgery, during which he "died" for a short time.

Dear Debbie and Erin--We were shocked and saddened to hear of your husband's, your father's passing. While we had only met Robert a few times, he was always kind-hearted and obviously driven, in the matter of horses, by his devotion and love for you, Erin.

Austin will not be the same without you.

Debbie, my heart hurts for you and Erin but rejoice thinking about the time you spent with Robert. When I met Robert for the first time, I was touched by his kind spirit and I thought, this man will cherish Debbie as she should be cherish and he did. Blessings always

Friend, counselor, business advisor and confidant; Robert was all of these for many people and I am privileged to have been one of them. To say Robert was one of a kind is understating his uniqueness. There will never be another. We'll miss you my friend.

I am saddened by Robert's passing. I had the privilege of knowing and working with him in his advisory role on the Resource Management Commission. As a City staff member, I welcomed his advice and other words of wisdom.
Austin lost a truly valuable citizen that will be hard to replace.

His integrity and knowledge of energy issues were very impressive to me.

Rest in peace.
Adolph L. Stickelbault
