He was great at Everything He did and was a perfectionist. Robert loved the outdoors, nature, and animals. When we were young, I remember all of us hiking to the top of Fisher Peak. When Robert became a teenager. He and His Cousins would go on to climb that same mountain many more times. He also loved camping, fishing, and dirt bike riding. I remember My Dad would take Ruben and Robert to do all that Guy stuff. If anybody knew my brother, He loved to shop. He got that from my mom and those too could shop for hours. That old saying “Shop to drop” described those two. I can honestly say My Brother Robert enjoyed His life and all His Family and Friends, as we all enjoyed Him being in Our Lives, it is Our Honor to call You Brother and all those other titles You have earned along the way. It was a lot of Fun growing up together! The Love and Light He has brought to every one of our lives, can’t be measured but we carry all of it in Our Souls. We all had lots of good memories as well as sad ones together. Robert loved each of Us. We do want to thank Mom and Larry who have been taking care of Robert for some years now, I hope that Robert being in God’s Perfect Peace will ease the pain. So, From My Brother Robert’s Lips to my ears, I share a Personal message from Him to all of us; I am at Peace with going back to Heaven because I will be with Our Lord, Dad, Jen, and everyone that is back in Heaven! I just feel bad for everyone I am leaving; He was also concerned about his best furry friend Michelangelo. Who will be taken in by his special niece Robert asked us to live a happy life, with him in our memory, and to forgive one another as life is short, and take care of ourselves and each other! Robert Thank You for that! Rest In Peace Robert, oh man who are we kidding, He is dancing on the clouds and being the best onery Angel, He can be. You will live in our hearts forevermore, Always Loved and missed. Glory be to the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit Amen.
