Kong was the best in softball, that was his expectation. He wouldn't have it any other way! He will truly be missed.

My sincere condolences to the Lagunas Family . I met Robert many years ago before knowing him as a great softball player and coach. He was always a kind person and treated me with respect as I did him. I mostly played on opposing teams but I did have the privilege of playing on the same team with him once or twice. He was a great competitor. He did always have a big smile when he greeted anyone. He will be missed. Rest in peace Robert.

Robert Lagunas was a man for which I had the utmost respect. I remember his presence at the Yuma city softball tournaments, the Club Latino tournaments, out-of-town World Hispanic Tournaments, the local benefits, special events, and at the Mineshaft. In our co-ed softball days, he was always on the opposing team, but we shared many a smiles, competition cheers, and short conversations. My children grew up around the softball family, and Robert was definitely one who made an great impact on all of us. He will surely be missed. May God receive him with open arms, and may God wrap His loving, comforting arms around all his family. RIP, my friend.
