I didn´t know him well but really appreciated his positivity and humor. We could all learn something from that. Rest in Peace.

I will always remember my nephew Robert, surrounded by family, as we played games together at pickerel lake. He was laughing and bluffing at the same time. He was a sweet, smart and brave kid. I remember paddling him around in the canoe when he was little. I miss him like someone ripped a bite of my heart out. Robert, until we see you again, be joyful and at peace. Say hi to grandma.
