Robert and I met in 7th grade at Pershing School. We became great friends in 8th grade at Franklin Jr Hi. We were together and about 3’ when Pres. Kennedy passed us on Nov. 22, 1963. I have us on film. Robert’s mom and dad were warm, wonderful people. They made me feel like family. The news of Robert passing in 2015 breaks my heart to this day. He was great.
Robert was a close friend in our high school years. He was always fun and loved to laugh. As a true friend would be, he was always there to offer support when needed. I was also a big fan of his parents. They couldn't have been nicer to me. Unfortunately I had not connected with Robert recently and just found out about his death. My sincere condolences to his family. His memory will always bring a smile to my face. Jill Rogers Rowlett
