Hello,
We wanted to let you know that we will be honoring and remembering your loved one this holiday season. We are sending Care Packages to our deployed troops in his name. Each package will carry the name, photo, service branch, rank and hometown of Robert Scott Eppich US Army Sergeant.
We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community, our family, friends and many others who support our mission.
We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.
Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family
On Behalf of our US Hockey Players Support Our Troops Campaign Inc.

I still listen to the CD he made before he passed away. Uncle Robert, I love you and all, but how in starlight did you get a song on a CD that came out AFTER you passed away?

Angels look down on us from heaven above God has a new soldier. The soldiers heart is filled with love. Someone to look over us and guide us through the day. At night he brings us comfort and chases all the shadows away. Robert will be waiting when our mission is through to meet us at the gate with others we knew. We love you Aunt Lea & Uncle Ron, Lisa, Chris, Kevin & Melissa. Our condolances to all of Roberts family and friends.
From our family with love. Jessie, Gerald, Joan, Alan, Carolyn and Crystal

It's hard to find the right words to say at a time like this Ashley. I met you the day our guys deployed to Iraq. Our husbands were friends, buddys, brothers if you will. Robert was a good man and he will be sorely missed around here. Keep your head up and stay strong that's what he would want you to do...and remember he's with you everyday in mind and spirit. You have my deepest heartfelt sympathy.

To Ashley and the Eppich family,
I am so very sorry for the loss of your loved one. I know how hard it is to lose someone so close to you and how much harder it is during the holidays. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Ashley, I wish that I could be there with you during this time. I pray that you have the support there that you need. As you know, we are no longer at Goodfellow but at Langley and can still be reached at our old cell phone number night or day and anytime you feel the need to talk or cry. I am praying that you will find comfort in the Lord during this trying time of your life. I was so saddened to hear of the news of your husband and that your were not able to be there as quickly as you needed to be. I remember you telling me that you were getting married and after. Your face would light up whenever you spoke of Robert and of building a family together with your lifelong love. It was so nice to see you smile. I pray that God would fill your heart with peace and that you will be able to smile again. To the Eppich family, I pray that God would be with you during such a difficult time of losing your son, brother, grandchild. I pray that you would keep Ashley close to you and that all of you would lean to the Lord and one another for comfort during this time. God bless.

I met Robert in November 2005, shortly after his marriage to Ashley. He truly loved Ashley and she loved him. Ashley, you are like a sister to me and when I heard the news that you lost the one person in your life that truly made you happy, I felt that I had lost a part of me also. My thoughts and prayers are with both you and the Eppich Family. I pray for your strength and that God be the one you look to for comfort. I love you and take care.

I go to church with Ashley's brother, Travis. He was collecting Christmas gifts to send to Ashley in Iraq at the time of Robert's death. I am so very sorry to hear of Robert's death. He survived so much and had to much for which to live. My heart and prayers go out to Ashley and all of his family.

To the family of Sgt. Eppich, my prayers are with you all. I have a nephew that served six years in the US Army, did a tour in Korea and a tour in Iraq. He was home for 4 months and killed in a car accident. I know what it is to be proud of all of our men and women who serve this great country. Please know that Robert's sacrifice will never be forgotten. God bless you.

Hello, family of Robert, we wanted to express our deepest sympathy and let you know that we know how you feel. On Dec. 31st 2004, we lost our son in Iraq, he was a wonderful young man and we miss him terribly. I would love to send you all a card and a gift, if you could let me know your address or email address, we would love to be a support to you all. You can call us at anytime when you feel you would like to talk. We want to be at his funeral because we try to go to all the military funerals, but it is so close to our son's death, I just don't know if I can make it through that, plus the funeral home is where we had our dad's service. Many prayers are with you and thank you for your sacrifice, if you would like to call at anytime, our number is: 602-741-6926. Blessings,
jodi, glenn, kyle, and joshua smith
