Happy birthday Robbie, I don't think I'll ever forget this date. Remember when we used to have to Collect Call each other through 10-10-220 because you lived far enough away that it was considered long distance? Anyway, I love you and miss you.

I recently read where the Dalai Lama said that his religion is kindness.

I've been thinking about Robbie alot lately. And when I read that line from the Dalai Lama, I said "whammo"... that's Robbie. So young to have learned that special gift..... bless him!

Never forgotten.

Mr Demes, I don't know if u remember me but I was in your Religion Class at Pope John Paul (class of 1994)--I just found out today about the loss of your son, Robbie, I'm so sorry to hear that. I lost my sister when I was 14 and still don't know how my parents made it thru the horrible pain?? They eventually started to feel better....take time to let yourself heal. Sincerely, Lisa Metzger.

It is our Faith that brings comfort and the Hope that we will be reunited with our children again that will get you thru each day.

Dear Robbie,

I've known your Dad for a long, long time but regretfully never had the pleasure of getting to know you. From what I've read here, it's obvious that you really are quite a special guy. I know your Dad and family will miss you, but I'm sure you are watching over them. I look forward to meeting you one day with them.

Dear Deacon Demes and Mrs. Demes,

The first time I met Robbie was when I sang in the choir and he was an altar server at Ascension. I remember being impressed with his reverence and prayerfulness during the mass. A strong prayer life can be challenging to attain, but it seems he developed it at an early age. The way Robbie lived as an example of Christ's love is found in Matthew 25:35-36, "for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me." What a beautiful son you raised!

I am deeply saddened at the loss of Robbie and offer you my love and constant prayers. I wish I could have been there to pay my respects to Robbie and your family, but I am away at school. May God hold you close at this time and offer you the peace that only He can give.

All my love,

Erin Romero

My heart is sad to know we have lost such a beautiful, kind, person.
Only a few weeks ago, Kevin told me how he recently ran into Robbie after not seeing each other for quite a few years. They talked about the "good ole times in school, and when he stayed at Robbies home". He expressed to me, how good it was to see him again and was looking forward to getting together.
I am glad they had that time.
Robbie had a way of always making everyone laugh.
He will live in each of our memories and heart.
God Bless

My heart is so heavy and is hurting with you. My fondest memories were picking each of my children up from kindergarten and Robbie would always been in the room with you. He was such a character - and our course the Talent Shows. Mrs. Demes, you were my children's first teacher and took so much time with them. Because of you and Deacon Demes, my children have become what they are. I love you all.

Demes Family,

My condolences are extended to your family during this very difficult time. Robbie was always such a caring, kind, and thoughtful person. He could always bring a smile to anyones face or light up a room simply by being in it. The world lost a great man the day he passed, and heaven gained another angel.

Michele Eade

June 10, 2010

My deepest sympathies to the Demes family. Robbie was always such a gentleman when he was in our home. My favorite Robbie story - he loved to open my patio door and lay a trail of nuts to lure the squirrels into my kitchen! My prayers for comfort and peace for everyone touched by this tragedy.

Andrew Feder

June 10, 2010

Dear Mr. and Mrs Deacon Demes, all my condolences to you and your family I am deeply saddened and distraught over the loss of your son Robbie and my thoughts and prayers are also with you and your family. Robbie was was one of the few kids and friends in highschool I admired, he could befriend anyone and was always easy to talk to. Social status or popularity wasnt important to him and I never once saw or heard him show disrespect to any of his peers, one of the reasons why it was very easy to love Robbie. I met him before high school at Ascension Church and I was happy to see I would be attending Pope with him, he was also one of the only friends my mom would always ask about and she knew what excellent parents raised this man.

June 10, 2010

Dear Deacon Dennis, Mrs. Demes and Family, I didn't know Robbie. I do know what wonderful, spiritual, and giving people you both are though. Even through my faith I am so saddened & my heart breaks for your loss. Please know you will be in my thoughts & prayers relentlessly. May your memories, love, and faith help heal your pain. With sincere sympathy,

Deacon Demes and family,

I hope that the love and support from the many people that hold so many beautiful memories of Robbie comfort you in your time of great need. You are all in my prayers and I know that Robbie will continue to be with you and watch over you from now until you are all back together again.

David McLaughlin

June 10, 2010

Robert and I were neighbors, over on Church Street. He was always the gentleman. Why God takes one of the good guys home so early, I do not have the answer to. But Robert does! I have no doubt St. Michael himself, has taken Robert under His wings, and is placing him close to all of us, to better protect all of us, from that which is not of divine origin, or inspiration. I'll see you again, my friend. ~ David McLaughlin

Dear Demes Family,
We were all so sad to hear of Robbie's passing. May God give you the strength to celebrate Robbie's life and to hold to the fact that all children are gifts of God. They each bring seperate and distinct personalities. Robbie was a very special person and by all the comments posted he was special to many of us. Robbie will live on in the hearts of all those he touched.
Our deepest sympathies and prayers.

Hi Deacon Demes, it was a Blessing being in your class at Pope, and although I didn't know Robbie very well, you always talked about him. I remember whenever he came in during your class- with his empty backpack and that huge smile! He always lit up the room!

I am so sorry for your loss, but God is Graceful and He will carry you through. I will always remember Robbie as the smiley, happy kid I met in highschool and I will always have you and your family in my prayers.

My brother did everything for me. He would come over the second I called him and make everything better. He gave my kids everything they wanted even when I said no. He would spend hours outside letting them Fix his car (pretty much key his car with a screwdriver). He once pulled over the side of the road where a shirtless man was asking for money. He took off his shirt, gave it to the man along with the money he had in his pocket. Probably the most selfless person I ever knew. the last thing we said to eachother was I love you and I'm so grateful for that. I love you som much Berto.
Your Big sis forever,

I have been praying the rosary and asking the Lord for you a deep understanding of the Mystery of the Love that lives within you and Robbie.

Ed Duffy

June 10, 2010

Dear Dennis and Susan,
No words can express the loss of a child. I always remember my mom telling us that a parent shouldn't bury their child but we know that choice isn't in our hands. Robbie lives in God's time and from the little I read from the others in the Guest Book it seems he was more aware of that than a lot of us. We are always in God's time and our lives, long or short, are but a moment. My thoughts and prayers are with you both. Keep sharing your love with each other and the other people you meet on the journey until we meet again in the Kingdom. Pax.

Dear Demes family,
My deepest thoughts are with you all. Robby was a not only a true friend but a man of few words and alot of action. He was a very devoted co worker that I had learned alot from when he and I worked at royal palm catering together. He will always have a special place in my heart and will never be forgotten. I miss you already homie

Dear Demes Family,
We are so sad to hear about your loss. I grew up with Robbie in elementry and middle school and saw each from time to time through the last couple of years. I can positively say he was a fantastic kid and I am so glad I got to grow up with him and have him as a friend. He is one of the nicest and most caring guys I've ever met. May he rest in peace as we celebrate his life.

Dear; Demes family. Im so sorry for your loss, Robbie was one of the few people in High School that treated me with respect and honesty. He as a true friend in times of need, he also stuck up for me when others would just walk away! Keep his spirit in your hearts & minds, just know he will always watch over you all till the very end of time. Matthew E Levine, PJP II Class 2004 ( Boynton Beach, FL)

My condolences to the Demes family.

I'll always remember Robbie from freshman year. He was one of the first people to come up and introduce himself to me freshman year and knew we would become friends. Robbie was always smiling and in a good mood. He was one of the nicest, most outgoing, and thoughtful people I've ever met and I am so glad I got to meet such a great person. Even to this day, when talking with fellow classmates, nobody has ever had a bad thing to say about Robbie; he was that guy that everybody just clicked with and liked.

He'll be missed by many, but never forgotten.

Dear Robbie,

Thanks for 24 fabulous years. I have always loved you and deeply felt your love for me. Thanks for caring for me when I was not able to care for myself and thanks for teaching me things I could never have known without you. I wish heaven could have waited a little longer, but with your help I hope to get there. Work some of that classic charm of yours on God to get me in.

Mr. and Mrs. Demes,

I only met you and your son once at Nick's wedding, but it was obvious he was an extremely nice guy. I wish I had gotten to know him better. Your family will certainly be in my thoughts and prayers.

May God watch over you and your family!

Dear Susan and Dennis,
Words cannot express my sorrow of learning of Robbie's death. I spoke to Dianna this morning-it was emotional-I remembered the boy-young man trying to win that Presidential and how we both hated that Sit and Reach, his love of Boston, soccer, basketball, lacrosse, and all those wonderful things. I can only say you raised a wonderful young man, one you can be proud of. I can't be there at the funeral-I just came back from Art Steffes'. Please give my love to the family and friends.
Truly,
Pat Smith

To the Demes family, I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. Robbie will always be watching over all of you as your guardian angel. May you take peace in the fact that he changed soo many lives and was loved by so many people.

To Robbie, you will forever be loved. You left us too young. You were always part of the Kesl family and you always will be. Garrett and I miss you so much already. You were like a brother to me since I was just a little girl, and I don't know what I'm gona do without you. What I do know is that you'll watch over us and everyone you loved. We'll never forget you Robbie, may you Rest In Peace. I'll love you forever.
