God rest his soul
Although I only met Robert a few times he was a good and kind neighbor to me and my son, Ian. He helped me with the smoke detector one time when he was clearly not feeling well. I thought that was extra nice for a person who barely knew me.
God cares for his loved one’s who die and I know that he is happy in heaven with our Lord and all the company of heaven.
God, please continue to bless his wife, Julie and Sugar.
Our deepest condolences are sent to Julie and the rest of Robert’s family. A hero that served his country, he leaves behind a legacy. As we have done before, we will help feed the homeless, but next time in his honor. God Bless and rest in peace! Tom & Maria Kish

It has been an honor to have been given a chance to take care of Robert when he was hospitalized at the BayPines VA Medical Center. Although his life had been short, I’m sure that he had used it very fruitfully and pleasing to his creator.
May God bless his soul and provide comfort to his family especially Julie and his dog, Sugar.
I was briefly married to Robert and have regreted the circunstances that caused us to part. He was a very tortured man with a good heart and many talents who was battling many demons at that time. I am so glad to see he turned things around and was loved by many others. I hope his passing was an easy one and that he is at peace. I am glad that his military service was honored.
It has taken me all this time to find the strength to write this about my loving,adored and dedicated husband,Robert. He was the most amazing person, filling my life with so much joy and happiness. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t miss his hugs and smiles, his outlook on life. Robert was such a giving man,and would stop and help anyone in need. I was truly blessed that God put such a person in my life. Not only did he serve his country valiantly,he spread hope and joy to all he met. He constantly filled my heart with joy, and taught me to always have faith. He is missed beyond words by me and his beloved “Sugar”..I know he’s resting in peace with the Lord now. He is forever treasured.I was so proud to be his wife….
