To the family of my good friend Robert, my wife and I offer our sincere condolences. We met Robert and his precious wife years ago as customers of their furniture store.
As time went on, we became friends over and above just customers. I gave Robert a research paper and photos of the apparition (image of Mother Mary) that suddenly appeared on a 25 foot tall plate glass window years ago at Clearwater, Florida. This was a fascinaating story that answered so many question concerning the cause and reasons for the sudden overnight appearance. Robert and his wife really enjoyed reading the rest of and ending to specific details. Robert was not only a wonderful business man, he was a true gentlemena and a man of his word. He was a very spiritual God loving man, who lived his belief with more than just words. I will miss seeing Robert when I walk into his business at Inverness, Florida, with his big smile and holding his loving pet. God Bless you Robert and rest in peace.

Gizelle,
My very deepest sympathies in the loss of Bob. He was a joy to work with and a call from him always brightened my day. I was shocked because he never told me he was sick. May you find comfort in your memories. Rest in eternal peace, Bob.
