Luc and I would like to offer our condolences to the family and especially Kathryn. We befriended the Roses when we moved to Vero a few years ago and have shared many good times. Robert will be missed.

Bob will long be remembered for his keen insight, sharp wit, and for having the smarts to marry Kathryn who so lovingly cared for him…a very special couple and two of our favorite people.
