Robert was an avid Tennessee fan. He cheered passionately and proudly. Robert loved big and gave his heart freely and wasn’t afraid to let you know how much you meant to him. His loyalty and unmistakable love will be felt forever by all who were blessed to know him.

I’m so saddened by the loss of my dear friend. I rejoice that he is reunited with Emily and Frank. He has missed them so. Rest in peace sweet guy. I’ll miss you. And I’ll even throw out an occasional Go Vols! just for you.
