To Robert’s Family & Friends:
Dear Robert my Nephew & Friend.
Now that you are gone we must contend,
To continue on without you here,
But, many memories we have and will hold them dear.
You will be missed but will live on,
In our minds, our hearts and in the life beyond.
Time they say heals all and our hearts will mend,
If it’s true or not, our love and prayers, for you, we will continue to send.
To have known you we all were blest,
But now in God’s arms you are at rest.
Sit at the Lord’s Table and partake in His feast,
As now you enjoy eternal peace.
We did not want you to leave this way,
But we pray to see you again when comes our day.
We all know that life on earth is bound to end,
But, until that time, watch over us, dear Robert my Nephew & Friend.
-Uncle Ron
My most sincere condolences to all Robert’s Family. It is so hard to believe that such great person (like an angel) has gone suddenly from our lives when he was only giving us so much love. We always, will remember him and he always will live in our hearts, soul.
When I went back to work for Jcpenney in 2018 Robert was the first co worker to befriend me. He and I had so many interesting conversations and became close friends. We learned we had a few things in common through our conversations. I enjoyed working with him and could always count on him for anything. He had a favorite pen he would leave on his register and I would try to get there before he did so I could hide his pen and leave a riddle for him on his register to find it. A couple of times it took him a few days to find it. He would leave me funny little notes on my register and move my things too. I would try to scare him and other coworkers every day when I came in. I got him a handful of times and we always had a good laugh about it. He was more successful at scaring me than I was with him and we teamed up to scare our other coworkers. A few times he and I would laugh so hard we both had tears of laughter. We always had so much fun scaring our friends Emanuel Kimutai or Muhammad shariq. When he decided to move to Florida for a fresh start I was sad to hear he was leaving but at the same time I was Happy for him to start his next chapter on journey. Debbie Cawthon, Stephen Chaffin and I along with my boyfriend had a going away get together for Robert. I had no idea it would be the last time we would hang out or hug each other. He and I would chat or talk on the phone off and on after he moved. I was waiting on some what was supposed to be exciting news and had told him I would let him know how it turned out but never got the chance to tell him. Even with him living in Florida he was still very supportive and always rooted for his friends and their success. I will never forget Robert and his sense of humor. He was definitely a one of a kind and always a true gentleman. I looked up to him and considered him a dear friend and brother. I will forever miss you and your stories Robert. Fly high and rest in peace. Till we meet again.. Much love and respect from the #2055 family Collin Creek Jcpenney.
I still cannot believe Robert is no longer with us. I used to work with him at JCPenney in plano, TX and I have lots of memories with him. No matter what was going on with his life he always had smile on his face and we had really good quality conversations. I never saw him raise his voice and he had well polished personality. Every time when I was down or tired of work I go to meet him at home department where he usually spent majority of his shift. I still can remember his voice when he announced store closing hours. I have so much respect for Robert and I learned many things from him which I still see the signs in my personality. He was truly a great friend, co worker and mentor. My condolences goes to his family.
Rest in peace Robert. You are always been remembered
When I heard the news of what happened to Robert I was devastated. He was an amazing friend and coworker. When I worked with Robert at JCPenney he would sometimes stop by the salon to see how everyone was doing. I remember he would sometimes make jokes and just make so many people smile. It was a pleasure being able to work with him. Robert was a kind soul and didn’t deserve what happened to him. Fly high Robert, you will be missed.
My heart is saddened for the way you left us. You were my friend throughout my life and I am so grateful for you. I know I will see you again in Eternity and we will laugh about the little things again. Thank you for the memories. You were loved by many because you always shared your heart for others. Love you friend.
I extend my deepest condolences on the passing of Mr. Robert. It was truly an honor to have had the privilege of meeting him and experiencing firsthand his remarkable kindness, care, and joyfulness. His presence was a source of warmth and inspiration to those around him, and he will be deeply missed.
Though his physical presence is no longer with us, his incredible legacy of love and positivity will continue to live on in our hearts. We are grateful to God for the example he set, his genuine spirit was like a beacon, drawing others toward a life of happiness and goodwill.
May God’s special blessings be upon all who knew and loved him, bringing comfort and peace during this difficult time.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Condolences to all of Robert’s family and friends. Robert and I both started at Universal about a year and half ago. During the last several months, we ended up with the same exact work schedule, and we bonded due to our similar interests. It was always fun talking with him, and we had several inside jokes that still bring a smile to my face whenever they come to mind. I will always remember how funny, friendly, and welcoming he was, and it was especially meaningful due to some personal issues I’ve been having recently. He is sorely missed, but I will always remember what a great friend and person he was. Rest in peace, Robert.
I had the privilege of working with Robert at JCPenney. We bonded over our mutual love of sarcasm and all things Star Wars. Robert once told me “the ONE thing he liked about me was that I was a big Star Wars fan”. This made me laugh. He allowed me to give him all of the spoilers to The Mandalorian when it first came out and even asked for updates because he refused to buy a Disney+ subscription.
Although we were not in the same department, (Robert was in appliances , I worked pretty much everywhere else), we did get several opportunities to talk in general. When my mother was dying of lung cancer and after her death, Robert reached out with encouraging words. Even after having just lost his own mother just a couple of months before.
After I left JCPenney we kept in touch on Facebook. I knew anytime I posted something about Star Wars or Marvel, I could count on a reaction from Robert. A small piece that I will definitely miss.
When Robert moved to Florida, he shared with me that he was looking for a job in the Star Wars area of Disney. Unfortunately, he did not get to work there. He eventually found his most recent job at Universal, which he was pretty excited about. He was really looking forward to the opening of the new Universal Epic Universe park and has invited my husband and I to come visit.
Whether it was laughing about ridiculous customer experiences, silly employee gossip, or what was new in the world of Star Wars and Marvel, the conversations were what made JCPenney feel like home, and Robert feel like family. Rest in peace, you are already very much missed.
Robert was the most even keel man I have ever met. Whenever I was stressed at work, I could count on him for a moment of levity. His closing messages (and repeating those messages) were legendary. Robert was a great man that I was blessed to have known.
I still can’t believe he’s gone. Robert was one of the few people that could keep up the banter with me. Our sarcasm was top tier. It’s how we survived the daily grind at JCPenney’s and working with him made everyday special. He had a heart of gold and there was no gray area when it came to his morals and character. He reached out to me when he decided to move to Florida and I was honored that he wanted my two cents. I’ll miss you old friend and I’ll think about you every hurricane season. We’ve rode out soooooo many hurricanes together. And I’m sure losing you will hit me again when that first hurricane rolls through. He always checked on me and my family. Because that’s the kind of guy he was. My deepest condolences to his family and friends. We lost a damn good one.
It was a blessing, really a gift from God to have the honor to be part of Mr. Robert’s life the pass 2 years.
If you knew him, you knew his warmth. He had a way of making everyone feel special, whether it was through his never-ending supply of chocolates, his helping hands, or those classic dad jokes that never failed to make us laugh—sometimes at how bad they were!
Mr. Roberts had a heart bigger than words can describe. He was always there when you needed a hand, a laugh, or just a simple reminder that kindness makes all the difference in the world, with e amazing “Good Morning” when he walks next to us at 4:00PM. He gave so much, not because he had to, but because that’s who he was.
We will miss him terribly—his humor, his generosity, his unwavering kindness. But even as we grieve, we hold onto the lessons he taught us: life is short, to share more, laugh often, and always carry a little extra chocolate for a friend.
Rest easy, Mr. Roberts. Your love and laughter will live on in all of us.
I had the opportunity and honor to work with Robert on the same team at the Universal Call Center. One thing about Robert during the downtimes; he kept us laughing with a corny dad joke! He always kept a smile on our faces, and I enjoyed his lively spirit during the team meetings. He will TRULY be missed.
