We have only known Robert for the past couple of years from Southgate Bowling Alley. He was on my husband's bowling team. Steve always enjoyed bowling with him as he had a great sense of humor and was always smiling. We did not know he was so sick. We will miss him terribly as we always hoped he would get well. At least he is now out of pain and can have peace. Condolences to his family. Robert was a really nice guy. RIP friend.
