Robert was an amazing person with a seeking mind and kind heart. He was a valued member of SGI-USA, always with profound thoughts and questions about Buddhism and chanting Nam Myoho Renge Kyo. We send his life much Diamoku.

My husband and I both worked with Bob at Baums Bologna years ago. He was an amazing man. I recall conversations about a trip to Russia, teaching him basic French and a foot race in the parking lot….he pulled my shirt to hold me back and won….all in good fun. Our condolences to his loved ones. He has now taken the ultimate journey. Suzette & Kerry Kreider

Uncle Robert ( as I was introduced to by Keenan) , we always had such great times with you when you came over to our house.♡ I remember drawing a tree ( along with other family members of mine) and you would tell us what it meant by how we drew it. We were all so impressed! 🙂 We loved your smile, your laughter, your jokes, and YOU! ♡ I will think of you everytime I eat seafood salad, (as you loved it), because Keenan and I got it for you (upon your request ) and I fed it to you. ♡ You will be so missed by so many lives you touched!!!!! I know you’re in a better place now. Till we meet again… I love you Uncle Robert… P.S. Much thanks to Keenan that I had the pleasure of meeting such a wonderful man! 🙂
