Condolences on behalf of the KEARSE FAMILY. My heart goes out to this family even more today; during the time I've known Tenika she's always spoken highly about her parents. My heart aches for her, all I know is having a true relationship with God allows us to get through all things. Keep the good memories to the forefront. He will be missed but never forgotten. Lil Tony and Byron you both continue to take care of Mommy and be the men he instilled in you both. Love you all. Grandma KEARSE

A true friend. I worked with Robert for many years. I also went to school with him. It was truly an honor to know Robert. We stayed in touch after his retirement and during his illness. Our weekly calls are going to be missed! I'll see you in heaven Robert.
