So sorry we have lost our cousin to cancer but a blessing he is in Heaven and has no more pains or problems. When we were younger and can remember his sense of humor and liked to pull a prank or two. Would see him at baseball and at track meets. He always spoke to you and always had some story to tell you. RIP Robert….love you cuz, and until we meet again

I am saddened to hear that Robert has passed away. He was one of the nicest people around. I am thankful in my faith that he is in heaven waiting to greet us as we all arrive. Just like when he was at McDonald’s. Cancer is a cruel disease. We need a cure for it.

I was lucky to have Robert in my life as a father in law . He was full of life and a good friend to me . His bowling was a technique of his own but he always beat me. I’ll remember him always as a father and a friend. Love always Orien Duggar.
