Robert and i worked very closely together at on of the local prisons. He was one of the most caring, loving and funniest persons i have ever known. No doubt Robert will be greatly missed. We talked sometimes about heaven and us being buddies there. Robert i have more of a reason to get to heaven now. Love you my friend and i will see you later. JIM HIGHTOWER
