We will never forget you my loving uncle, fly high and rest in peace. We love you and your bright smile and kind heart will be missed.
Robert is my son Brandon’s father. He got to spend time with him periodically as an adult. I’ve know Robert for many years. He was quite the guy. To all his family my condolences. God Bless you.

Robert was my brother Craig’s roommate and caretaker. They have been best friends for as long as I can remember. They met in the SVEE home when Craig was a teenager.
Robert is also a member of the Larson family. He joined us for holiday and other events and we were glad he did. We love him very much and will miss all of that positive energy. He has a kind heart and a good soul and he will be missed very much.
We are extremely grateful for the help he has provided Craig over the years.
Uncle Bobby I have so many good memories of you from living at the farm to now. Growing up with you at the farm was a lot of fun there was never a dull moment, I remember late at night you would make hamburger patties so big man the whopper has nothing on how you made yours. I still remember you would put the big ball of hamburger in between plastic and take the wooden board mom used for tortillas and flatten one big patty. I used to think man my uncle had some muscles. There was not anything you couldn’t move, if I needed help moving you would always be there to help and you did it all. I will miss you teasing me about my big eyes and how dramatic I was over things. I liked that you did not sugar coat anything, you said what you needed to say straight forward. Your big heart and humor, I love you uncle Bobby fly high, and R.I.P
Bobby, I want you to know that I always thought of you as a good man. You were my first love and we had a wonderful relationship when we were together and we created this wonderful, wonderful man that I am so blessed you got to meet and meet your grandson. I will never forget you and you hold that piece of me and always have cause of our son. Please keep a watch over him as he goes through this rough patch. I will miss you, but will see you every time I look at your son Brandon. R.I.P.
