I am so sorry to hear of your passing Mr. Robert. You and your family were customers of mine while I was at J&M Chevrolet. I will keep all of you in my prayers.
I miss you son and always love you now you’re up there in Heaven Looking down on us until we see each other again I love you my son
What a wonderful father, husband, and brother-in-law Robert was. Always so giving, generous, and a fabulous cook! May the Lord give comfort and strength to all as we remember and honor Robert today. We will miss you Robert!
Sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. Robert. he was a great person and always had a smile on his face.
Hey Neighbor, i’m late once again. But as always – something reminded me of my best and favorite neighbor.
What are the odds, my wife said – he passed away this year – being within a year of your passing anniversary.
Guess I’m proving my clock runs on “Filipino-Time” whatever that means. Rest in Peace, Neighbor.
