No words can express the gratitude and appreciation I have for Principal Robert Lizama! He truly loved and cared for my child Michelle while attending Finegayan Ele. and I taught P.E years 1993-2000.

We send heartfelt condolences to the Lizama Family. We taught at Finegayan School and were fortunate to have Robert (Mr. L.) as our principal. He helped us make the transition to Island Life much easier with his helpful caring ways. We truly appreciated him as our administrator. When we had to leave because of Parke's heart attack he was so very helpful and understanding to us.We have missed him already since coming back to Ohio,and I guess we thought he would always be there. His moving on to Heaven before us, at such an young age, is a shock and he will truly be missed.

I attended Finegayan Elementary School in the 90s. I was much younger then, but I clearly remember how great of a Principal Mr. Lizama was and how dedicated and involved he was with "his children."

My condolences to Richard(classmate)and the Lizama family. Although I dont know Robert personally, its the childhood years and memories of growing up in Barrigada that neighborly kids those days showed respect for each other. Robert is on his new journey with the Lord at his side. Another good brother from Barrigada has gone before us. May he rest in peace...
