We would like to express our deepest sympathies at this very difficult time. We knew Robert through my brother (Denis Ryan). Once we became neighbors; we became good friends. He was a wonderful man, and a devoted father. He never thought twice about reaching out to help a friend in-need, and he never expected anything in return. He was a very generous, kind and thoughtful individual with a warm smile and an unbelievable sense of humor. Whenever Willie entered a room the place lit up! We loved him like a brother and we will miss him dearly.



Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.



Sincerely,

Jackie Sbarboro and family

To Karan, Katlyn, Michael, Thomas and the entire Payne Family,

My thoughts are with you during this most difficult time. May our Good Lord bless you and keep you all safe, guiding all on the right side of the Lord. Peace be with the Payne's at this dark hour. May the silver lining in dark clouds reveal itself and bring joy once again.

Love from,

Jackie Sbarboro and her children--Joanna, Eric, Carol and Meredith
