Robert was not only a smart & talented person, but also a loyal & true friend, who his word stood tall for the honorable person he was. He was a kind & compassionate man who was admired by so many who will always treasure his friendship & his treatment of others as a real gentleman. What made Robert stand out amongst others, & in all he did, is that he was a man who stood up for what he believed in. Robert, you are really going to be missed by so many, there is a hole in the heart of all who called you friend. Nancy, Andrew and all your family, our hearts hurt for you. -Connie Lane
