Robert was my neighbor for over 40yrs. When my mom took ill he was a life savor! he was laways there to lend a hand, wether it be to watch over the house, take out the garbage, and take my mom out of bed!! he never refused! a quiet good natured man that kept to himself, but was there in a hearbeat!! he adored animals and took in an adopted several homeless cats and took wonderful care of them! he enjoyed history reading, and excursions upstate,wether it be camping, hiking, or just relaxing! we will surely miss him!!RIP
