  1. Robert was a special young man. I loved him unconditionally and I know that it was resipricated to me. We had a lot of laughs, some a little off color. Those that knew him understand. I always got a huge hug when I got to their home and another when I left. ALWAYS. I will miss him so much. I love you Robert rest on peace buddy.
