"Aunt Cathy & Chad, Already I miss my uncle and your husband & dad. I have so many great memories with him. hanging out at the sea ranch beach club, pretending the old white Toyota was a race car at red lights and launching off the start line, spending weekends at your house, getting sick at your house and you taking care of me, exploring reefs in Cayman, going to all different pet stores, I remember when i went to pine crest summer camp how proud I was that my uncle was in the hall of fame! spending summers at the house in lexington woods when chad was born, the list goes on and on! Most definitely my favorite uncle! Your with grandpa now and i'm sure you guys are having fun together!! Until I see you on the other side. I will most definitely do my best to help chad with anything and I will take him fishing. Ill show him that there's way more then just fishing off the dock. Everyone miss you a great deal!!! I love and miss you! Thanks so so much for everything you showed me and all the fun experiences we had together! JT Sheehan "The Dude""

We had some good times with Robert and you and we share in your sorrow. We'll light a candle in Robert's memory.Tamie and Tim Nebel"
"Cathy and Chad,Extremely sorry and shocked to hear that Robert (Bob) had passed. As one of the first homeowners in Lexington Woods we became close as neighbors and Bob was a great friend to our son T.J. growing up. Many days were spent out in the street throwing a football or baseball and who could forget the battles in our basement playing ping pong. Bob was always willing to get involved in neighborhood activities and help in anyway possible. We will keep you and your family in our prayers. He will be missed but never forgotten. God Bless."
"Cathy, Eddie and family I was so sorry to hear of Robert's untimely passing (I always called him "Bert") I'll always remember him laughing over at the old Beach Club getting ready to go out sailing in his catamaran or playing football (he could throw a pigskin through a brick wall) We spent alot memorable time together in HS and playing flag football in the old Lauderdale city league. RIP Buddy. You will be greatly missed."
"So sorry for your family's loss. I was a very close friend of Cathy, Robert's sister, during high school and the years after. I will always remember Robert's smile. May the God of all comfort give you the grace needed to walk through this very difficult time. May every good memory of Robert be engraved on your hearts for a lifetime. "Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy." John 16:22Patti Gates Edmondson"

"Cathi, Chad and family..... I am so very sorry to hear about Robert's passing. I know this comes as such a shock at such a young age. But somehow I hope you find peace in knowing he is now in the best place one could imagine. There are so many good memories I have of Robert. I remember meeting Robert the first time he came to visit you in Houston.....And there was your beautiful Florida wedding with his huge smile beaming at you. And I have made a few visits to your home in Atlanta. I remember him and Chad making frozen lemonade or some type of frozen lemon cream concoction that he was so proud of. Please keep all those good memories fresh and celebrate all of the good times. Bev(Feltenberg)Zamer"
