So sorry to learn of Robert’s passing. We attended school at Bakersfield together.
We were in the same graduating class of 1960. I saw him at the high school
reunion in 2015 and he had a picture taken together. He was a special person
and remember our school days with happiness.
Our condolences to his family.
