Yesterday
Robert was a dear friend and former colleague of mine. When I was overseeing MetLife´s investments department, Robert was heading up the real estate and agricultural lending group. Robert did a great job reducing risk prior to the 2008 financial crisis and helping MetLife come out of the crisis in a much stronger position than many of our competitors. More importantly, Robert was a wonderful person and he was my golf buddy. I have many fond memories of playing in golf tournaments together including several Pine Valley member-guest events, where Robert was a proud member. I will miss him dearly. My deepest sympathies to Kelly, Tyler, Caroline and Robert´s entire family.
