Dear Robbie, This one is for you!
I am so sorry for taking so long in writing to you, but every time I start the tears would just pour. Although we have not seen each other in quit a while, you have always been there in my heart. Most memories of you are from our young childhood. The news of your passing has blown my heart wide open and now those memories of us as children flood my mind. I will always remember the fun we had as little children playing in your parents basement in Newington, the fun zoo trips, but most of the time just screwing around and the trouble we would get into! I promise you that I will keep watch and more in touch with your mother, father and your sister Michelle who now I cry for. I know they were your world and the love that consumed you. The four of you have always been my favorite cousins and still are! I love you Robbie with all my heart and I will greatly miss you. Until we meet again, and we will, This candle burns for you!

Barbara, Dito and Michelle,
I'm deeply saddened for the loss of Rob. I remember him coming over to my house with his dad and laying down the tile floor in my kitchen. Had a chance to talk with him, he always had a smile on his face. I won't forget times spent at the house on the lake sharing good times with him at the cookouts. I'm so glad I have so many good memories of him.
Love to all of you,

Then my Dad would appoligize...and he'd say "Mr B, You gave me a bunch of chances to make it up....not your fault!" He was A great guy and a great friend..
