I just wanted to let his wife, children and family know that my prayers are with you all. I went to School with Pickle my whole life. So many laughs and memories. Such a great guy. I remember someone was asking something about him one day and everybody kept saying 'you know who that is' !!! Well come to find out they had been talking about Pickle and as God is my witness, I never knew him as anything else haha Brings a smile to my face as I sit here typing this Pickle was one of a kind. Heaven certainly gained an angel He will be missed

I remember Robert, or Pickle, as I was introduced to him, very fondly. I had the pleasure of working beside him on many occasions when he worked with Cate´s Music. Also, I had the pleasure of talking to him in other venues as he made people sound great while they performed or presented. Pickle always had a smile on his face for me, and was always willing to help in any way to get the shows on track and keep them there. I enjoyed the times I would catch him in the store and have time to just talk about music, sound, and life. I began to run into him more recently at University School as he was there as a parent and my child is in the same class. Yet again, there Pickle was with a smile and welcoming words. I was struck by his passing as he is someone that I know our community will truly miss, as I know that I will miss his presence in it.
My prayers, and those of our family, go out to his family in their time of need. I am so sorry that anyone has to go through this type of loss.

Pickle, you will be missed. You will not be forgotten. Keep on Jammin´ brother!
