Sending so much love to the family of Robert.. He was such a kind soul and it was a joy getting to know him as a caregiver at the County Village. He was always being so silly and made so many laugh. He was very compassionate and would notice when you were having a bad day and give THE BEST hugs. He will always have a special place in my heart and will be so very much missed by anyone who got to know him. My favorite memory with him is when I would walk around the facility he would use his feet to pedal his wheelchair and follow me or when I would be doing my paperwork he would come over and keep me company.
