Robert,

I'll miss our talks (you always had a story), and all your help with anything and everything that needed to be done here at the company! I'll miss our chats about your fishing trips and the pride on your face when you talked about your girls! You were always smiling about something! You are missed and will be missed!

I was so shocked and saddened by the news. Robert and I have known each other 20+ years. He had such a quick wit and contagious smile. We always enjoyed our almost daily chats as I delivered his mail. He always made me laugh. He will be greatly missed. My prayers go out to his family. Suzi Robinson
