I was talking to a former Postal colleague and Robert's name came up. She had no idea he died and, when I told her he indeed did, she was very saddened. We were in agreement that we appreciated his laid back management style which never interfered with him being a genuinely decent and kind person. My best to his family even as the years have rolled on.

Robert,
I remember all the times we used to laugh and talk about our kids. The office was a much brighter place to work in when your were their. You will be missed.

Hey Buddy,
Today my heart is broken. I have lost a dear friend. I'm going to miss sharing jokes, talking about Allen Conners at the meetings-Well actually talking about everybody, all the good Gossip. I'm going to miss your laid back style, your love of life, your love for your postal family and specially your love for your family. You will always be in my heart and prayers.
Until we can gossip again, God Bless and may God watch over your family.

Robert...my dear friend...I said "good-bye" to you today and it was one of the worst days of my life. I have many wonderful memories of you and I will think of you every day. You always made me laugh. You always had a good story or one of your many one-liners. It's just not going to be the same without you. I am so glad I got to know you. You were a great family man, great co-worker and a great friend. We're all going to miss you, Robert!

This is a poem I dedicate to you Robert.
You will be missed, my friend.
In Our Hearts
We thought of you with love today,
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday.
And days before that too.
We think of you in silence.
We often speak your name.
Now all we have is memories.
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake.
With which we’ll never part.
God has you in his keeping.
We have you in our heart.
Love The Spiller-Mayes Family

My condolences to the Nicholas family, I'm so sorry for your loss. It isn't going to be the same out there on the ball field without our "Mongoose". Robert, you were a great pitcher, a great hitter, and a great friend! I'm so thankful that Glenn brought all of us together to play ball. I admired you so much for putting up with Nik and Austin. You were always able to rise above their sarcasm and drop that ball on the plate! And I always appreciated how much you cared about my little girl, always asking how she's doing. It showed what a caring, thoughtful, and compassionate man you were. We're going to miss you Robert! God bless you and your family.

Robert, I was so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with you. You started out being my boss, and ended up being my friend. I knew you had my back no matter what, and that I could count on you always. We all miss you so much. I will especially miss your sarcastic sense of humor,(even when it was directed at me!)You had such an impact on the lives of those around you. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. God Bless.

My sincere condolences to the Nicholas family. I had the pleasure of meeting Robert a couple of years ago and found him easy to get to know and talk to. We worked together on a "charter team" and I found out what a great sense of humor he had. He will be greatly missed and I am truly sorry for the loss of your wonderful person.

My thoughts go out to the Nicholas family. Words can not express the loss of Robert and far too early. My God give put his arms around the family and walk with them in this time of adjustments and uncertainty.

My most sincere condolences to the Nicholas family. Although I only met him once, Robert Sr. mentioned him a lot to me back in the day. Nick and Gloria send me an e-mail, I would like to re-establish contact with you guys again.

Robert, I feel as though I have lost a "Brother" and John a "Son". Our hearts now have an emptiness that cannot be filled. We loved you not only as a co-worker, but as "Familia". Your energy was a force that noone else could match. Not even me! John will miss one of his "Partners in crime". You will never be forgotten, and as long as both John and I are in the Postal Service, employees will know what a great Manager and person you were. You leave a strong legacy of what the word "Loyalty" means....

I had the opportunity several years ago to transfer back to Bakersfield after commuting for several years. Fortunatly, I was assigned to the Brundage station where Robert was the manager. His good natured attitude made my transition a breeze. Not only was it a pleasure to work for him, it was easy working with him. I have to give him a lot of credit for helping me build a solid career foundation.
He never gave up on trying to recruit me and my husband to play softball. He truly was the office cheerleader. He changed the work environment that surrounded him with a big grin and never missed an opportunity to crack a joke, even when those joke were at my expense. I will miss that.
As I write this, his presence is missed by every employee here and they have all been sharing their own personal experiences over the past several days.
Our deepest sympathy is extended to his wife and children, and I hope they know how much he was loved and appreciated by all of us.

Roberto, I can't believe you are gone. You were my good friend and I will miss you so much. It's hard for me to picture playing softball with no "Mongoose" on the mound. You were such a big part of my life. You've left a huge hole that I can't possibly fill. I pray that you are with God and I pray golf courses in heaven all play to a huge slice. Goodbye my dear friend.

For those of you who did not know the business side of Robert I can tell you a few things as I was his boss. In the few years that I worked with Robert I had the opportunity to promote him twice. He worked hard to achieve these promotions. Robert had the desire to be the best and while he pushed his units to new levels of achievement he never did so at the expense of those that worked with or for him.
Aside from being a good manager, Robert was the office cheerleader, a bit of a gossip, and our activity coordinator. Robert was always trying to get us out to play softball, football and various other activities that lead to more than one injury.
I will miss him. I know that those that worked with him will miss him as well. He was a part of our postal family and we all share in the grieving. While we do not know why Robert was called home so soon, you can be assured that he is already organizing his next softball tournament.

My condolences to the Nicholas Family during this most difficult time. I was sadden with the news that Robert had passed way before his time. I remember coaching Robert during All-Stars at Northside Little League. Robert was an outstanding ball player who always gave more than 100% of himself on the playing field. My thoughts and prayers are with all his family members and friends during this most painful time.
