Robert and good friend, Rob (also the father of Robert's grandson, Eric)

Robert treasured his good friends and had many memories with his dear friend, Rob. Here they are looking mighty handsome at Rob's son's wedding! Together they laughed and laughed, mostly at Robert's many corny jokes. Robert told this joke to his family in January on his visit to Santa Cruz: "I had a horrible nightmare last night; I ate my muffler. I woke up exhausted," followed by uproarious laughter. Robert was Robert until the very end.
In their younger days...

They have a special connection.
