Obituaries

?To all of Robert's family, I was deeply saddened when I heard of Robert's passing on Wednesday. Robert was a close friend of my family. I grew closer to him when both he and my Mom were recovering from medical procedures at Summerfield Manor. I would stop by his room everyday when I visited my Mom. He always greeted me with a smile, even though I could tell he had a rough day. After his discharge, and the passing of my Mom, we stayed in touch by phone. We would discuss our aches and pains, politics, and sports. I always tried to make sure our calls were not on the days of his treatments, since I knew they were tiring for him. He was always optimistic concerning his condition and never lost faith in the Lord and His plan for each of us. I was surprised a few weeks ago, when Robert called me, and just wanted to know if I was doing alright. I will cherish this call, since he must have been very ill when he made it, yet he did not let on and, through in pain, still cared about my well being. I will deeply miss our phone calls and his friendship. I will be keeping Robert and all of his family in my prayers and thank the Lord daily that I have been blessed with such good friends as Robert and his family.

Tomorrow is not promised. Ironically, I told my mom that I had planned to visit Uncle Rob last Wednesday since I was off work. I never had a chance to visit because I got a couple of phone calls early that morning letting me know that Uncle Rob had passed. Uncle Rob you will be missed. Growing up, I remember you taking me, Kevin, Steve and Skip to the movies on 4th Street. Giving us money for the movies and dropping us off and then later coming to pick us up. Once I moved away, whenever I was in town I would either come visit or if I didn't make it past Uncle Rob's house, I would at least ask my mom how you were doing. I know you struggled over the last few years battling illness. I know now that you are pain-free and resting in Heaven along with grandma and Uncle Mick. Wishing you forever rest and peace Uncle Rob! With love Pip
