What a great idea to Remember Robert in this way. I have to tell you that I remember little 4 year old Robert as our first friend in the neighborhood when we started to build our dream home in Riverton. It is a vivid memory that as we pulled up to the curb to see the building lot we had purchased sight unseen while living in California, Rob was riding his trike on the sidewalk in front of your home, next to ours. He parked his trike and watched us get out of the car. It must have been a dream come true for him to see 5 small boys pile out of the car! We told him that we were going to build our home next to his. He was so happy. He even looked like our boys, with his red hair and freckles. So it wasn't a surprise to find out his dad and our dad were 2nd cousins. That was the start of our life long friendship with your family and ours.

  1. Darla, I remember how excited Rob was as you built your house! I had to constantly keep an eye on him so that he wasn't hurt during construction. It was a BIG relief when you finally moved in and became our dear, dear friends! And what good dear friends you always were to Rob and Brian and Julie!

    Love, Bonnie
