I was saddened to hear that Robert has passed away so suddenly. I will always respect Robert for having my back and never giving up on me. I can still picture him swaying to and fro on the balls of feet while jiggling the change in his pocket . All the time smiling, and happy go lucky. Thanks, Robert for being my true friend and God Bless you brother.

Robert was a very good friend of me and my husband Bills. We spent alot of time with him and Rosie throughout the last quite a few years. I will miss him teasing me and his smile. Most of all I will miss his presence. I can still see him now next to Rosie giving me a hard time with Tammy behind the bar and Bill, Rosie and me doing a shot. I know he is with God which comforts me.

Our "Forever" picture of Robert will be seeing him sitting tall and proud with a huge smile behind the wheel of his jeep in Hawaii. I remember too how he always claimed the futon on the patio! Great memories. Thinking of the family and wishing we could be there. Ken & Gail

Hello Little Brother. I still can't believe that you are gone. Here I am retiring and you were supposed to look after me---not fair. I remember so many things from when you were a little boy and I was supposed to take care of you---you were my responsibility. And it stayed that way for a long time. Remembering all the fun times we had as kids. Love, Linda

Robert, just had a couple fireballs and thinking its time to contribute something here- the thing is.... It's not really going to set in until we're there with the family ..... And your not. What the hell is a party with out you? We know though, that your always with us and YOU are the reason we'll all be together again soon. They've cut me off... Until then

I didn't get to spend enough time with Robert but the time that I spent with him was always fun. Robert is the one who helped me move on with my career and I truly appreciated him for that. I was sad to see him leave Cholla and shocked at his passing. Robert you will be missed go with God my friend.

The comments about Robert and his coffee make me smile. I can't tell you how many cups we drank while we talked about plant operations, the company and the industry. He was a great teacher and, from a communicator's point of view, easy to write for and work with. Thanks, Robert.

Robert and I became friends when he hired on at Saguaro Power Plant, twenty years ago. Our NAVY backrounds were a part of what we had in common. Robert was always positive and had a smile for everyone. Intelligents and a good work ethic were just a few of his characteristics. He will be missed. See you again someday.

I met Robert when I first reported to APS in 2006. I always enjoyed working on projects for Robert and trading friendly jabs. Then of course, there was always the good coffee. I'm truly sorry to hear that Robert is no longer with us and he'll truly be missed. The world is minus another good person.

I worked with Robert at Saguaro Power Plant. He was great to work with and seemed to have a way with everyone to make them laugh. He loved the song, "Walking in Memphis." He will be greatly missed! Blessings and love to the family! and may Robert keep them laughing in heaven too.

Hi Folks, Met Robert only a few times in Flagstaff and at Anne's wedding. He was always a happy guy and loving husband to Rosy. I know the family looked up to him and honored his words of wisdom. He will be surely missed and loved forever by those he touched. I pray that God's Angels will cover you during this difficult time and put peace in your hearts. Jean

Robert was my boss, riding partner mentor and friend. He always seemed to be having fun and was so proud of his new bike when we visited with him and Rosy a few years ago in Flagstaff. He was taken from us far to early. I will never forget the good times i had with Robert. God Bless and rest easy Brother until we meet again.

you brought laughter and joy into our lives. Even though you have left us here, it is not goodbye, it is that you have gone onto another journey and when we arrive you will have made it easier for us. We will meet again upon distant shores and we will feast and fill our cups as we laugh and rejoice for another great journey together once again. Love Emmett and Cel

I can't believe you're gone Wiz. Our family will never be the same without you it.
Robert was such a huge part of our family. He was very patient and understanding and calm about things. At least, with me! I'll always remember his kindness to all of us and will miss him for the rest of my life.

I am sorry to hear about your loss. I know at times like this it can be tough for you and your family. The Bible promises that soon death will be no more (Revelations 21:3,4) I hope this helps your family find comfort.

I remember eating pancakes all the time, riding on the motorcycle, eating carne asada burritos, you giving me piggy back rides, "san diego, super chargers!", the chinese restaurant, us just bonding outside. I'll never forget our memories and they'll be in my heart forever. I love you Papa. I love you.

Uncle Bobby all my life I admired you as a good husband, father and Uncle. I was proud of your Navy career and was jealous that you could make grammas Menudo. You said all of our names with an accent and that was cool. You will be missed forever- family gatherings won't be the same- but we will surely take a shot for you every time! I promise! Love you Uncle

I really miss you Papa. You really taught me a lot and pretty much raised me and was a father figure to me. You've been on my mind 24/7 and it hurts to realize you're gone because this all happened out of no where. I love you with all I have & I promise I'm gonna make you proud Papa. I promise. I love and miss you. You were the best Papa ever. Rest In Paradise. I love you.

My Last Ride
April 29, 2013
My hands are clenched around chrome bars the engine's rumble sounds so sweet. I twist the throttle with my palm and roar off down the street. The slapping of my leathers
and raging winds on either side, drum a beat of sweet contentment as I ride this.....my last ride. Alone on my tin pony, to the heavens I've been called, but fret not my dear loved ones,
I’m not lonely here at all. The speedometer is just a blur as tears blow from my eyes, the bike and I roll forward off into the calling skies. I hope I touched your lives one day,
and left a treasured mark, now I’ll ride on to FOREVER, with your memory in my heart.
