When I think of all the interactions that I have had with my friend Robert Wenck; there are two words which always come to mind. Resilience and Perseverance are those words. Robert withstood and recovered quickly from whatever difficult condition that life may had handed him. He was able to spring back into shape until his body decided it could not. Even then, he persisted in being a light and encouragement for others. Lou Anne that dude loved you to no end. Thank you for reciprocating that love. So I am going to end this by saying: farewell Robert you fought a good fight, you finished your course, you kept the faith now receive your crown and I will see you when I get home. Lou Anne, James, Jessica and Joey; Susan and I love all of you. Your family is forever etched into the fabric of our hearts.
