    Robert was a friend of mine. We work together at Kearfott in Quality Control from 2007 to mid teens. He taught Cindi and I the ropes there at Kearfott. Those were my favorite times at Kearfott. We were a great team together. He always remembered my birthday another occasions. He was a good man and I will miss him. Carmella Shook
