I remember  every family reunion. We were all so excited to see uncle Bobby & lydia& the kids cause that was only time we got to see them. Everyone meeting at aunt Lois's house & eating white castle.  All of us catching up & laughing together.  I'll always be his wild child.lol  He will be greatly missed & always loved

A good father loves his children. A good husband loves his wife. He knows they are human and make mistakes, he supports them and builds them up. All that showed throughout all of you and it showed that Robert, Sr., was a true family man; a loving father and husband!  I enjoyed going to your home and it was a special time to see Robert, Sr., when he was home around with us. I saw our dad's at work together and saw there too how they worked around their troops. I loved visiting your family in the Skyline housing area in Germany. All my siblings were older than I and didn't make the last trip over. I found a family that replaced those while over there with you guys and saw the love you all shared with each other. I always thought it was very interesting how Dad and your dad were close at work and the son's at home were very close buds too! Robert, Sr., will be missed, but the memories will keep him alive forever! Our sincere sympathies and prayers for support to the family! 

I have so many beautiful memories of you my big brother/cuzz. It's hard to pick but. I remember you coming home on leave and always come to our house and we were ALWAYS so excited to see you in your uniform looking all dapper and handsome. When you were hungry we all knew it was time for your favorite white  Castle. We would always have a house full because everyone always gathered at momma & daddy's since they helped raise you. Growing up was so much fun when ever you were around. Our family reunions at Garfield park was always huge.  You are gone from our sight now but you will forever live in our hearts and minds. We will treasure every memory of you as gold. Go rest high on that mountain my sweet brother/cuzz. Until we meet again 💕

I felt a great connection to you because of being prior service. Though your duration was 20+ years in the Army and I served 4 as an Active Duty Marine, I felt that connection and because of that I had nothing but the upmost respect for you. We will miss you in the flesh but we know you’re at ease in a better place. See you when it’s my turn to rejoice in the afterlife!
