Robert was very intelligent and loved discussing historical events and listening to 60's and 70's soul music. He was brilliant beyond belief and had masters knowledge of many things from the Bible to history, music, politics and beyond. He was the best big brother, uncle and friend you could ask for. He would do anything for anyone. He had the kindest heart and soul. He was loved by everyone who knew him, and the impression of his love will live on in our hearts forever. 

Where life ends, there shall his spiritual journey begin.
