Goodbye Uncle Robert


Here he is in his garden with Carlee's kids!

 

 

 

At my Grandma's 80th Birthday with Lynn(his daughter)to bad his eye's are closed!

Just before the 4th of July my Uncle Robert suddenly passed away. My kids and family were devastated. He was the guy who was always there for you. He had a fabulous garden and every summer we would go and pick strawberries and rasberries and get veggies. He would also grow pumpkins for mine and Carlee's kids every year! We would go and he would let them pick them from his yard. He also had chickens and my kids loved to go with him to see if any had laid eggs.

Just the week before he passed away he was here at my house playing with the kids and helping Kyle with some carpet work. He was a painter and a jack of all trades. If there was anything you were looking for Robert either had it or knew exactly where to find it. He was always giving the kids gum! He had a stash in his car just in case we either stopped by his house or he came over. My kids were always happy to see him! Robert you are greatly missed and we love you!!
