Mr. Moore, Donna's dad, would bring oil and help with our furnace when I was first married and living at 22 Port O Pines Trailer Park. He helped through some very cold winters. Donna's dad let her drive his big ole green truck, when her little orange VW bug was broken. He was a very kind man.

My grandfather was a great man, to say the absolute least. Never have I encountered someone who has touched so many lives for the better through acts of generosity and kindness. So many memories growing up at his house, working in the garden, playing with lizards, watching antique roadshow and this old house, having him help me make birdhouses, the list goes on and on and on. I remain so sad today not for him, as he is no longer hurting, but for my family and I as we miss him so much.

I will miss my Uncle Robert. He did have a great sense of humor. I can hear his laugh. I remember some of his sayings such as "Well excuuuuuuse me!" and "Its time to hit the dusty trail" when he was ready to go home. He was a wonderful family man. RIP Uncle Robert. Until we meet again ❤
