Saying goodbye, even if only temporary, is always hard. Especially to someone who always let you know he loved you. Uncle Robert never failed to let me know I was loved by him and I have many treasured memories of him. He gave the best hugs and always had time to give me or anyone else some tips for improving their ball game. Til we meet again Uncle Robert.
