Not sure what to say?

I miss you, Robert. You were such a dear friend.

Oh Bobby Bear, My "Hot Mamma"! ;-). Robert and I were inseparable in high school. His wardrobe was impeccable and he had an amazing style and taste in music. We would dance around together to the Specials, The English Beat, and of course, Elvis Costello, who he had a picture of in his wallet. I adored him to pieces, and was sad when we drifted apart. I am sorry I never met his family, but I know he had such a good and pure heart. I am so lucky to have married a man who is a lot like Robert,...

Robert was one of the most down to earth and genuinely caring friends that I have had the honor of knowing. We had so many good times at work and outside of work that it brings a smile to face everytime I think about those times. I will always miss my good friend and will remember and cherish the times that we had. God Bless.

I knew Bobby since he was 7 years old. He was the ring bearer when I married his older sister Karen. I will always rember him as the kid with the shock of curly hair.

In the years I have known Bobby I watched him mature into an outstanding young man who took pride in himself and his family. I watched him marvel at being a father and grow into a father that any son would want. He doted on his children, who were his pride and joy, and his wife Tamara. It was obvious that his family...

Robert always had a smile. He never had a bad word to say about anyone. He could DJ stompy, noisy industrial music in a club, then dance to MC Hammer like no one. I'd sometimes hear him bark like a sea lion from somewhere in a noisy nightclub, and smile, knowing he was around, somewhere. Even after he moved to Havasu, and many months or a year might slip by without getting in touch, the next time we'd talk it was like a day hadn't passed.

I never realized until recently that all...

Robert and I grew up together. We spent nearly every day hanging out together, as kids riding our big wheels, hanging out at the mall, heading out to Off The Record and Blue Meanie almost weekly, visiting his sister in L.A. and going to Disneyland and Magic Mountain, going to the Piranha Room, Metro and Emerald City. I will never forget how bummed we were when the Piranha Room closed because of In Cahoots. Unfortunately, after I left Sea World, we drifted apart, as sometimes happens. I...

I too was fortunate enough to work with Robert for many years at SeaWorld. As happens throughout life we lost contact when he moved to Havasu. My life was enriched when I met Robert and I am deeply saddened to learn of his passing. Robert truly was one of the good guys.
My heart-felt condolence to the entire family.

I worked with Robert for many years at SeaWorld. I, along with many of his friends at SeaWorld, was very saddened to hear of his passing. We have been sharing many fond and funny memories of times we spent with Robert. Best wishes to you and your family.

Our hearts go out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
