My heart goes out to Sir Robert's entire family and all of his many friends. He was truly an incredible man. It was an honor to know this gentle giant. He really lived his Faith and shared his gifts from God in so many ways. I had the special priviledge to be a considered a friend. He couldn't wait to show me his EOHS. What an honor to be Knighted by our Cardinal at the Popes command. I was blessed to witness his many acts of kindness to those in need. He had a powerful yet quiet and unassuming way of getting things done.
Putting aside his Spiritual attributes for a moment, I would like to expound on another of one of his many gifts. Bob had the most terrific sense of humor. He was the consumate entertainer. He loved sharing jokes and stories with everyone. One night at Bingo he gave me a story to read. He said it was his lifes story and it was several pages long. I had put it aside while I prepared my game papers. I wanted to give it my full attention. He returned from getting his papers and asked if I read it yet. I said not yet. I'm sure he was glad he could now watch my undoing. I quickly picked up the neatly typed and stapled papers. As I started to read I thought to myself what an opportunity to learn more about this wonderful human being. As I picked it up to dive into his biography, I quickly realized he got me again. It was not his life's story but a joke entitled "The Lawnmower". He watched me intensely as my responses grew with each line. First my smile, then a giggle then a complete cascading cresendo into hysterics. He couldn't help but join in the gaity. He truly enjoyed making me laugh til tears streamed down my face. We would be laughing so deeply it became contagious. Others around us couldn't help but laugh right along with us even though they didn't know why! We all got to share in the joy of the moment.
Bob also had a flair for the theatrical. Shakespeare would be green with envy! Bob would glow with delight when telling a joke or story complete with all the gestures and accents needed to paint a picture. Every story was peppered with details that would bring the characters to life.
His last attempt to get me into the funny farm was to find me a story he had misplaced on his computer. It was given to him by a friend about a "Chili Recipe". He told me, "You think you laughed too much already... just wait until you read the next one. You may want to think about buying some "Depends". He told me this only last week at our favorite Bingo Hall. He said he wouldn't stop until he found it.
Well as we all know, God had other Plans for Bob! He was truly God's Angel on Earth. Now he will enjoy his much deserved Heavenly reward. In my daily prayers I will thank the Lord for the gift of your friendship. Goodbye Bob My Dear Friend I will miss you. God Bess You!
