I’m sorry to hear of the loss of Robert. I knew him when I leaved in Germany, he was my first of everything and we had a son together. I don’t know if he ever talked about his son, but he knew. I know Eppie is taking this very hard, the whole family is. I’m sorry for the lose both to the family and my son who never got to meet him. I always talked good about him to his son.
