To the Family of Robi Truel,
Robi and I went to BCC together and later worked together at Trident. He was always professional, but he will be remembered for his friendliness. I know that words bring little comfort at a time like this, but know that he will forever be remembered by friends for the kind, friendly person that he was. May God comfort you through this difficult time and bring peace to your hearts as you heal.

Tammy, Robi was such a special person, I know he will always be in the minds and hearts of many. He always had such a wonderful smile, I will remember working with him in the Er at Trident Medical center for many years, and the romance that developed between the two of you. He will be missed.

I knew Robi when we worked at Baker/ Roper North Hospital. Although he had problems he was always up and always had a cheery smile. May he now rest in God's eternal peace and may Our Lord give you comfort and peace.
