Martha, I was saddened to hear of Robert's passing. Please know my prayers are with you and your family. Seeing your children and grandchildren made me smile and I'm sure made Robert and you both very proud. I wish my two sons could have met him for they would have realized what a nice man he was. Please extend my sympathy to the rest of the family and know he's watching over us all with my Dad.

It is with much gratitude that our family would like to personally thank those who came to Bob's aid in helping his daughter, Bobbi, bring him ashore. They would especially like to thank Andrew Strong and Keith Worth of RT3 for their heroic efforts on the beach prior to the paramedics arrival. Their imediate resucitation efforts and persistence gave the family a true gift of peace of mind knowing that the assistance was without hesitation and that everything possible was done in trying to save him.
