He remained Isaac's devoted caregiver until the Lord called him home on the morning of January 9, 2022. "This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters." - I John 3:16. Robert indeed exemplified this character quality in caring for his brother Isaac.
