I went to school as a kid with Robert. My parents were close to his parents as well. We even went to a school dance together. I remember him as a quiet and really nice guy, somewhat shy. My sympathies to his family. May he Rest In Peace. Judi (Muise) Eldred.

Loved working with you. Smart, funny, and always ready to challenge the status quo. Missed you when you left the office. Sorry you left this earth so young. Thought you would break your dads record of years of retirement. You were always so proud of his.

Dear Family,

I knew Bob for many years and he always
brought smiles and laughter to our group of friends. He was also so smart with his knowledge of politics and his views.
My sympathy to all.....

Sincerely,
Deb Leahy
