Robert was my best friend growing up.

His mom and my mom were best friends when they were growing up. I always used to think that was the coolest thing—we were practically family. His death has really shaken us all. Robert had several good friends and made friends wherever he went. He was just a nice, funny, great guy to be around. He was loved dearly and will be missed.

I know he’s made a difference in a lot of people’s lives, and so I’m starting this to raise funds to cover cremation/ceremony costs and maybe have some kind of get-together for friends and family. I’ve never set one of these up, but I ask that you share this and donate if you can, whatever you can, so we can send Robert off right and help his family get through these tough times. Please donate and show your support. Thanks.
