When I was a young child, my parents would have the Ankenbauer family over to our house. While the parents were socializing, I would be playing with the Ankenbauer youngsters. Robert was part of that. I have very fond memories of the Ankenbauer family. My fond memories and remembrance of Robert and his outstanding family make me sure that he is at rest in peace now.
