Rest Robert, until you hear at dawn, the low, clear reveille of God. Thank you for your service to this nation. U.S. Army, Vietnam.

Diane, My Dad called me after reading about Bob's passing. Though it has been years since we last saw each other, I've never forgotten how much we enjoyed your family's friendship during our front yard evening gatherings. God Bless you and your family.

My deepest symathy on the loss of your loved one. I worked with Holly at the City of Glendale and met Mr. Berkowitz on several occasions when he visited the office with his grandbaby, Abby. They always seemed to have such a good time together. I am very sorry for your loss.
