This was a terrible accident that I saw on the news. Come thursday 06/21 I found out it was Robert and I was shocked! I went to school with Robert, we worked together at DST Systems, Inc. and we use to hang out together. He was a great friend with a great sense of humor. I will miss him! My prayers go out to his family and children.

Aunt Romona and family,
When my daughter and I arrived at the hospital Sunday evening, I was prepared to hear of the terrible injuries Robert suffered but I was shocked to hear Cousin Robert was gone. I will hold on to my childhood memories of him...his smile and all the family get-togethers (even though he and Anthony always ran off to play elsewhere). Please know that you all are in our prayers. We love you!!

My thoughts and prayers are with you, the kids, and Bobby's Family.
I will remember Bobby for his love for kids and sports, his infectious smile, and the way he loved to tease and give me a hard time when we were together.
May you find comfort in your memories of him and the love you shared…and in the love of your friends who share your sorrow.
With love,

It's really hard to accept this terrible lost. I have all but nice memories of Robert, which will stay with me forever. I remember when we were kids he was always trying to make us laugh at Grandma's house and did a really good job at it! He had a really good sense of humor:) My heart is with you ALL, especially Tia Mona, Tio Manuel, Juan and India. God bless you all.

Bobby coached my son, Kyle, for the last several years in basketball and also coached him in football. Bobby was nothing but kind and generous to my son as well as the other boys on the team. His time was always spent giving to others. His is a tragic loss. My heart goes out to his family, especially Zach and Veronica. Prayers are with you.

I lived with Rob and Rhonda when I was dating Rhonda's brother Bill years ago when we were teenagers. He was always so nice to me and I grew very attached to the girls during that time. Zach had not yet been born. I ran in to Rob and Zach at Barnes and Noble a few years ago and he caught me up on the latest events of his life. It was a nice conversation and I realized then how much I had missed them. I have thought a lot over the years about Rhonda, Rob, Bill, Rachelle and Robin and wondered how they turned out hoping all were well. I was completely shocked and saddened by this tragedy when I heard it on the news. My thoughts are with each of them as well as the entire Mora family and I am truly sorry for their loss.
