deer in the yard everyday, a variety of birds to feed and just sitting on the deck of his sister's beach house in
the woods.
Robert had many friends. Entirely too many to mention He loved you all. One friend in particular is Dean
Stevens. They knew each other from childhood and the world could not tear them apart.
He was loved by many and will be missed by all.
