I want to offer my thoughts, sympathy and prayers to the Family of Robert. He and I had such a good bond/Friendship while he was living at New Perspective. Even though he didn’t have much to say he very much enjoyed the conversation I shared with him. His smile indicated he was enjoying the time spent together. He always had an appetite for Sweets and thanks to Family and Steve for supplying him with cookies and candy and Robert loved the sweets they provided! I also enjoyed the factime videos with Robert and Steve, I know Steve and Robert both enjoyed seeing each other, but was slightly difficult for Robert but enjoy seeing Steve! Many thanks to Steve and Randy for all their support for Robert. He was truly a special Friend to me and i will miss him very much. Blessed be his memory.
R.I.P. Robert. You were a friend to me ever since the days of Norbert/Gladys’s house being built. I met you then coming out at night to check the progress the crews did on the house with my father. I had to have been around 10 years old. You were great to deal with in business and you let me turkey and deer hunt your ground. I’m so glad we asked you along on that pheasant hunt years ago. You were up there in age already ( and it was cold!) but you tossed on the coverall blaze and marched out there with us and I know you had a good time. You were good steward to your land and worked harder than many people half your age. Your roses were also very beautiful just like the obit said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for allowing the staff at New Perspective to be part of Roberts life. He wasn’t a man of many words but we did have a great bond and he enjoyed holding my hand at work. He was very much loved and will be greatly missed. Sending love and prayers to you and your family. Fly high my special angel
