I didn't know Robert, but the person who wrote this amazing obituary, certainly did. After reading it, I came away feeling that I had met Robert, possibly even had known him my entire 69 years on this earth. I am Certain, he is Very Pleased by this Tribute to his Life.

I don't think we actually came up with many answers but it was always interesting to try. May you know peace Robert, you will be missed.
