I was Robert’s best friend that grew up 3 houses down from his parents house. We did everything together from kindergarten through High School (which we were locker partners) and lost touch at about age 22. I was trying to reach out to Robert and saddened by the news. Robert and I were inseparable for our entire youth. If Kimberly would like to hear about Robert in his youth I can be reached at mjmraleigh@gmail.com
