I learned alot from Fr. Robert. I respected his integrity and wisdom. I often think about the material i learn in his "Consumer Education Class" at Curley. He was a fine person, he will be remembered in my thoughts and prayers.

"For all that has been...
THANKS...
For all that will be...
YES..."
ee cummings

To remember is to live TWICE...

For the beloved teacher and pastor, we give thanks! For all those humorous stories you told in class and on the pulpit...thanks...

May you rest in the light of Christ. As the angels went to meet you and escort you to your heavenly home, I'm sure you were telling them jokes...
I'm not leaving my name because I'm sure there are so many students you taught and adults you helped that may not have this opportunity to pay you tribute...so I write for so many...
