Dearest Medrano Family,

Both my husband, Bill and I knew Robert ever since 1968. We worked with him at the USPS. He was such a kind and wonderful person. Always made you feel good about yourself. Our prayers are with you, especially during these difficult times. God bless and keep you always.

Mary, Victor, Nicole,Chris;

I am so sorry for your loss. My earliest memory of Robert was way back in my teen age years when I was suppose to only babysit my cousin Chavette. Before I knew what happen I was babysitting Nicole, Chavette, Monique, and several other neighborhood kids so that the "adults" could continue on the party at a neighbors house. I remember thinking I can't believe they set me up like that! The next day as I was serving Trix for breakfast, Robert and my cousin Raulo come strolling in Raulo hands me $40.00 Robert says thats it? he then hands me another $5.00 then not to be out done Raulo hands me another $5.00 Robert then gives me a $10.00 bill and tells me next time you should charge at the door. I had a feeling they went to Reno:) And Robert was right from then on whenever my cousins or family friends needed a babysitter they knew I was to be paid upfront.LOL..Now 27 years later are families still remained close, I will always remember your husband/father as someone who enjoyed life and brought joy to those who he met, and I must mentioned I LOVED to see Robert and Mary dance!

Peace Be With You Medrano Familia

To the Medrano family,

It is with deepest sadness that I

bring my condolences at this sad time.

I have seen Robert or work with

him at the Post Office since 1975.

I have found Robert to be a very

pleasance person.

I have never seen Robert upset about anything.

I once told Robert, " I like to talk like a person with a B.A."

Robert reply " You mean B.S."

it took me a second to realize what he meant.

I will miss him.
