Robert was one of my best friends. We hardly saw each other or talked on the phone, but when we did it was right where we left off. We took some incredible road trips and visits to California and Moab. I have been trying to reach him since December and was not able to. I googled his name and to my heartache I discovered his passing today. he will always be remembered in my heart.....

I am so sorry to hear the news of Robert's passing. I enjoyed his company very much and will miss him. I hadn't seen him in about a year, but I was hopeful to see him for science fair judging to catch up. Miss you, Robert! Amanda Buckner
