Joyce,
There are no words that I can convey to you for your loss, but to cherish your memories you had together.
I met Robert only a few times and both times were memorable.
So sorry for your loss.

My sincerest condolences go out to Joyce and the entire Kreydatus family. I had the greatest honor of working alongside of Bob at Thermo Fisher Scientific until his retirement. He was a true professional in the field and his friendly, quick-witted personality made it easy for everyone to adore him. I hope that the family can find peace during this challenging time by cherishing all of their memories of Bob.
Sincerely,
Alice Everett
