I was saddened to hear the news of Robert's passing today. This is a man I will always hold dear to my heart as he was always supporting and pushing me to be the best I could be. He is always spoken of fondly when we gather to talk about the "good old days at CPS". He will be be missed.
Becky my condolences to you and his entire family. May God grant you all peace and strength as you grieve the loss of Robert.
Many Blessings,
Nelda Rodriguez
