We were thankful to have him in our lives, but now he has gone to his Heavenly Father and to all that has passed before him. He knew how much he was loved and we know how much he loved us. We know he will be looking down on us and is now our Guardian Angel. We loved him and will miss him, but he will always be in our hearts.

Robert led a remarkable life and was a inspiration to all that knew him best. We will treasure the memories of him in our minds always. “Your life was a blessing, your memory was a treasure. You’re loved beyond words. Rest in peace.”
