Condolences & Tributes
Add A CondolenceI am Rob's aunt even though I'm younger than he was. Last time I saw him I arrived at the house on Shaul Street hoping to see Linda. I told my daughter some one was following us. We pulled into the driveway and so did the truck. I got out and he said Hi auntie. I had to laugh. We had been stationed in California for over 10 years. He had not seen me since my mom died. He said you look the same I would know you any where you look like Polly(name everyone called my mom). Rest sweet boy. Laura and Linda love and prayers to you.
Extending my deep and heartfelt sympathy to you and your family--Linda Gail Wheeler.
