Families have a way of drifting apart, but I remember while I was staying for a visit with uncle herb and aunt elizabeth, Robert was very kind to me even taking me to the zoo.
I am sure these qualities carried over into all of his life.
My thoughts and prayer are with the family on their loss.
Cousin John Charles Lyons
