Robert was always in a good mood, always joking around, always made me smile. I'll cherish the chats we had just the two of us, when no one was around, just little moments like that. Not long before his last day at work, while awaiting his results, he told me that whatever happens he was okay with it, and I admired that. He was a caring, brave man.
