Fond memories of “Bay Boy”. He and I were childhood friends since our Ridgewood Elementary School days. We bird hunted together; we played football and we golf together. He was always a supportive friend. May my joyful memories of Robert by a source of comfort to his family and friends. I extend my condolences to you all.
Uncle Robert is someone I will always remember with a smile. Every time I came into town, I could count on hearing his cheerful “hey, boo boo” and that unforgettable laugh. He was always smiling, carried such light & kindness, and had a true love for golf…..something he did so well!
I’ll always remember the love he had for his dogs, his family, and my auntie. His light continues to shine beyond this life, and he will be deeply missed 🤍 I love you Uncle Robert! Hug my sister and grandma for me. Love you all dearly 🙏🏽
