He was my friend a long time, I was 18 or so when I first met him. He always had a smile and a joke.. He was my pastor for a long period of time and my friend for it seems like forever. Rest in peace Robert, There are so many memories of robert , it would be hard to pick one.

One thing I learned from Robert is : It don't matter how tough it gets you don't just give up.
