I served alongside Robert on a daily basis for his entire career with the Guard. He was a man of character and a true professional. I will always remember him with tremendous respect and pleasant memories. Some fine day when it’s time for me to cross over into Heaven, we’ll meet again. God be with his family and all those close to him during this time.

He is the Father of tender mercies and and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our trials.
