Robert was my boyfriend in our Junior and Senior year. He was on the Lancers football team and worked hard at Shop-Rite which is where we met. He was a firefighter as a career - civil service was in his blood (his dad was a policeman in Vailsburg, Newark). In his twenties he contracted non-Hogkins lymphoma but beat it and was in remission. Unfortunately the cancer reared his ugly head again in his mid-thirties and he lost the battle. He left a wife and 2 young daughters. The good should not die young! RIP Robert, you were my first love!
