Robert was a Manager at Buckhead Bar and Grill, where he loved meeting new and regular customers. Robert was a Roman Catholic by faith and trusted in his God.

Everyone who knew Robert will remember him as a loyal, funny, pure spirited, most patient, the “spark” in the darkest of times, beautiful soul. He will be missed immensely by those who knew him.
