He was a huge fan of the Mets and the Giants and cheered them on regardless of how they played. He will be missed by those who knew and loved him.

In addition to his father, Robert was preceded in death by his partner, Deborah Sanchez.

In addition to his mother, Robert is survived by a sister, Disa Pabon; as well as his cats, Stinky and Mama.
