My sincere condolences to Robert's loving wife Heather and his family. I grew up with Army, attending elementary and high school with him. We swam at 5 B's, caddied at Glendale and shared stories, meals and even a beer or 2 over the years. He will be fondly remembered. RIP my friend. - Posted by: Trent Cassin (friend) on: May 26, 2015

Heather....I am very sorry for your loss of Robert. When we worked together at the Eastwinds LC.....it was the best store to be because of him and the team we worked with. We all loved to laugh and it made for a very fun place to work. Robert blushed so easily....it made for more laughs as he tried to keep us all in work mode. May he rest in peace because he truly was a good friend and store manager. Fran - Posted by: Frances Ross (co-worker/friend) on: May 26, 2015

Heather and family - on behalf of Gord & Inez Stratton and Grant and I, we send our deepest sympathies for the sudden passing of Robert. Our fondest memories of "Army" were during the Annual MLCC Golf Tournaments at Arnes. We often heard stories of your Vegas trips with Leechan and Cynthia. Robert will be greatly missed but never forgotten. Take care. - Posted by: Sheri & Grant Johnson (Family Friend) on: May 26, 2015
