Heartbroken and so sorry for your loss. Austin and Lindsey I would run into your Dad periodically over the years and his face would light up talking of you both. Wonderful memories of baseball, hockey and the fun Bobby had fishing with you guys. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

Austin and Lindsey,
I called him Roberto and some other NSFW names. I worked with your dad, sat right behind him, chairs almost touching in his final years at the BIG L. We spent time playing golf and just having fun. I was totally shocked at his passing. He, Jimbob and I went to the gun range and Angelos right before covid struck. He looked ok but I could see he was hurting. Your dad was great at his job. He was very smart and twice as funny. He had a great spirit and I will miss him. RIP my brother ROBERTO.

So sorry for your loss, way too early especially since I’m a few years older. I worked with Robert for many years on F-22 and always appreciated his attitude and enthusiasm as well as his sense of humor. He talked about out his family often.
