Dear Gay and Family,
We were so shocked to hear about Robert’s passing and so sorry we haven’t accknowledged it before now. We really liked Robert, he was a very wonderful person with a great personality and had a beautiful smile. We didn’t get to see him very often but he always made us feel welcome in his home. He will truly be missed by all that knew him. Thinking of you today with deep and sincere sympathy…….
