Our sympathy at the loss of Robbie. We remember him from the Golden Eagles football days, hanging out with kids around town and even a little bit of Glenbard West wrestling! A sweet boy, one you must all have been very proud of.

I echo the words of Andy and Julianne. Robert offered to serve our nation and did so. That is sacrifice...of time, energy, spirit, and life. I, too, share your burden (missing my "military" son) and am praying today that God will wrap all of Robert's loved ones and friends in His mighty arms. May He give strength to each of you for today and each day after.
