My family's deepest condolences and prayers go out to Robert's family. I met Robert at Saint Anne de Beaupre as a child. I remember us playing in front of the basilica, dancing at the outdoor concerts, and playing pool at Dooley's. It was always nice to see a familiar face year after year. And even though it has been years, almost a decade, since we last saw one another up in Canada, Robert will always be my friend. He may have left us far earlier than ever expected, but I believe one day we will meet again. May God watch over your family during this difficult time and may you find peace and joy again with his memory.

So sorry to hear about Rob. Knew him from Canada St Anne De Beaupre pilgrimage he seemed like such a gentle soul and so young to leave this earth. Hopefully he has found better peace where he is
