Goodbye Robert,

When I meet you our daughters (Alison and Holly) were planning soccer together and I discovered that a relative of yours Andy Thoron was one of my childhood friends growing up and that your brother John and I went to DeLaSalle High School together. The 6% of separation, I guess. I enjoy our brief time together and your humor, it was endless and enjoyable.

You have a beautiful family. I will miss you my friend and may you rest in peace.

With my deepest sympathies to the Gohres,

Jeffrey

I had the great privilege to work with this man. He was one of the kindest and most honorable men I've known. Seeing your smiling face come by the office with your dog made our days. You will be missed Robert. Until we meet again.
Sending prayers to Judy, Brian, John and all of your families.
Love, Leslie & Bobby

Robert was a dear friend and will be sorely missed. There are many stories I could share as examples of his generosity and kindness but none more so than when I started my own company. Robert helped me in so many ways. Such as helping me navigate the insurance minefields and then telling me not to pay for the coverage until I could afford it. Not many folks would do that for a starting business.

Great human, great friend, great business partner, etc. etc. There is no greater legacy I can think of than Robert's and Judy's children. His family is a testament to Robert Gohres the man.

Mr. Robert was the best of the best kind of person. Always lit up the room or office when he walked in. He always wanted to know what was going on with a person and truly listened to what they had to say. He is already sorely missed my so many.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be your co-worker, Mr. Robert! I loved knowing you all these years.
