Robert worked and lived hard. I think he read most of the scientific books in library and all the Napoleon Bonaparte books he could fine. Thank goodness for reasonable rates for phone call. We did not always agree but we had respect for each others opinions. I truly miss our phone calls. - Posted by: Ghislaine (giggi) Pilon (We met when we were 18 and reconnected as friends in 2004) on: Sep 07, 2015

Please accept our deepest condolences on Robert's passing. I was at the farm in Notre Dame as a child when Uncle Felix and Aunt Annie were still farming there and afterward when they moved to St. Francois Xavier they were our neighbours and we were very close and new their family well. I think of all of you often. - Posted by: Monique (Aquin) Graboski (Family acquaintance) on: Jun 19, 2015
