Robert was one of the kindest, most gentle and handsome men I've ever known. His was a bright light and I miss him. Although it has been many years, it seems just like yesterday that Robert and I were dancing into the wee hours of the morning at Trocadero. Robert, wherever you are, you are missed. Beau
It was only yesterday, or so it seems that our time was spent happily seeking the tomorrows that would never come. All these years later....... you are still remembered with great affection for what was, and where we had all hoped to go.
Bob was my best friend. We grew up together and went to many school dances. We always had the best of times and we’re always getting into some sort of mischief. You knew if you were with him you were always going to laugh and have a fabulous time! I still have all of the notes we used to pass back-and-forth in school and the letters he wrote me when I lived out of the country. The last time I saw him was when he in Campbell. I wish we could’ve had more time together. I know he didn’t want to leave this world, he had so much more to do and conquer. He was the best! I’m glad we got to dance together on American bandstand. That was one of his dreams. He was always trying to make me famous. I stayed in touch with his parents until they passed.They were beautiful people. God bless everyone
