Dear Allan, Judy, Donna and Mary and other family members,
I have such wonderful memories of when we were kids and spending much of my time at your house. Camping, riding our horses and just hanging out. I find it comforting to imagine that Robie and Betty have reunited. May they both rest in peace and may you all find solace in your memories and love for one another.
Much love...D.G.

I'd like to say that somewhere right now, this gem of a man is fighting to reel in a 40 pound King salmon from a boat on a lake. Rest in peace Robie.

For the last 20+ years you have been my grampa Robbie, Whenever we would come up from Mass. You and Nana were the first two people i would look for, and not just because i knew if i could find you i could find kymmy, but because you hold such a special place in my heart. I knew i could always count on you to cheer me up if i was down in the dumps. I will miss your big bear hugs every day. You will always be in my heart. I love you Grampa! Love Always, Angie

To My Grandfather with Love
When I was just a little girl you'd sit me on your knee
And you made me feel so safe and loved I couldn't help but see
That you were the greatest grandfather in the world it was so clear
And this little girl felt very blessed just knowing you were near
Your influence, your wisdom guided me along the way
And in spite of all my many faults
Your love I knew would stay
Because you cared so much for everyone, remembered every name
There's so many here that love you, things will never be the same
I want you not to worry about us, we will all be fine
With the memories that live on in us, you're with us all the time
And it's comforting to know that now you're in a better place
I can almost see your twinkling eyes the glow upon your face.
You kiss my forehead, comforting touch.
Whenever you see me, your eyes glow and shine,
You've age gracefully, like a bottle of wine.
You are always in my thoughts and on my mind,
Filled with wisdom, to people you're kind.
Oh precious grandfather, I just wish to say,
Whenever I saw you, you brighten my day.
Thinking back now I really must say
I feel lucky and privileged to have known Grandpa to this day
For in my life, you have played a special part
The memories I will treasure and keep close to your heart
For me I am glad my little baby he got to meet
And for all of us, be grateful, his life is now complete
To each one of us he has loved and cared
And a family, be thankful for the good times we shared
Although he has gone we will always be together
And his spirit will live on each one of us forever
When you look to the sky, look for the brightest star
As that will be Grandpa looking down on us from afar
Grandpa, if you are listening say a prayer for us every day
Be sure to protect us and guide us on our way
We know when God called you, you had to go
But we want you to know Grandpa we miss you and love you so
Forever your granddaughter, I always be there.
Love always,
Kymmy
