My deepest sympathies to Robert's children and grandchildren. I was a very young cousin to Robert during the years we lived near but I remember their wedding and visiting them at their home often and later babysitting for them. I have very fond memories of Robert and Terry spending so many evenings playing cards with my mom and dad. Always so much laughing! - Posted by: Diane Mirka (Cousin) on: Aug 23, 2021
