I was very sorry to hear of Robert's passing and extend my wife's and my condolences to his family and friends. I really enjoyed talking with him in our chat room and also our kidding and joking experiences we had in the room. My wife and I also enjoyed meeting Robert in person and taking to lunch to his favorite resturant, the Bohemian Palace. I then enjoyed kidding Robert in the chat room about how the young pretty waitresses waited on him hand and foot and the smile on his face when I took his picture with some of those girls each time we left the resturant. Robert was one fine gentlemen and will be missed surely. He loved his family and told us all about them and was very proud of them. Rest in peace Robert. ---WIL408

My Deepest Sympathy to Robert's family.
I am one of Robert's chatroom friends and I am going to miss him very much. Robert was such a joy to know and chat with.
He would send me his stories he would write of his children growing up and all the fun times his family shared. I would always tell him... "Robert these should be published" he would just smile :) . He was an excellent writer. I hope someday his writings will be published so I can be in line to purchase his book.
God Bless,
Luv

It is so sad to say goodbye to this wonderful man. What an exceptional friend he was to me and so many others. I will miss him terribly but now he is at peace, and with those he so loves. I will never forget his incredible wit and the kindness he showed to myself as well as others. God has a very special angel now. Another time my friend....

Our thoughts are with you and your family and we share your loss. I am truly thankful for the opportunity to know you and for helping to plan all those wonderful "adventures" around the world. Your husband and father delighted in planning surprises for all of you in celebrating family birthdays and anniversaries. The Rougemont cake was made down to the very last detail with a photo and written description for the chef. He was an incredible man with a wonderful sense of humor and a memory for details. We will all miss him very much. With love and gratitude, Bonnie & Mike
