I was blessed to have known Robert through Special Olympics, St. John's Special Religious Ed (SPRED) class, and Camp GLOW (God Loves Our World). I will greatly miss Robert's hugs and the smile he always gave me, as well as his art work and seeing his beautiful cursive penmanship. I will never forget how he always wanted to help carry up the gifts at Mass. My condolences and prayers are with his family. Thank you for sharing Robert with me, he really touched my life.

Your smile was infectious Robert. Heaven became a better place when you entered in. Tell my Dad I said hello and dont forget to rub his bald head when you see him like you always did in church. Sympathy and hugs to your family that loved you so much!

Dear Mrs. Szuba and Family,
Jack and I were so very sorry to hear of Robert's passing. We have known Barb and Dave since the days in Charleston, and we know how very difficult this is for all of you. Our hearts and prayers go out to all of you today.
Robert was taken too young, but, my faith tells me that he is with his Dad, and his Maker. He is among angels now, and he looks down and keeps watch over you all now.
May God send you strength to accept and get through this very difficult time in your lives.
Love and Prayers,
Carolyn

Robert was a true pleasure to know. His smile and hugs were often times the highlight of my day at Dr. deBorja's office. He will be missed but now has a new role along side of our savior, Jesus Christ. May God bless the Szuba family. We wil miss you, Robert.

Dear szuba Family, I wish to express my deepest sympathy. I met Robert in 2004 while working in Gallaghers South Program. Robert was one of the most pleasant young men that I ever meant. No one who knew him could ever forget his charm and warmth. whenever I attended one of the Boy scout dances I never had to worry about a dance partener or someone to talk to. we both shared a love for the Ravens. I will truly miss him and I feel very fortunate to have known him.
Sincerly,
Angela Seabron, RST Site Mgr. III

I knew Robert when I was a Camp Spencer staff member. I was the First Year Camper director and later Eagle's Nest director. Robert was in my classes and had a great sense of humor. At the meals the troops had to report "All present and accounted for" and Robert proudly reported that for Troop 216. The other scouts in the camp knew and liked Robert. He was curious and would ask me about some of the patches on my uniform. Robert will be missed and he is with Col. Smith and the other leaders from Troop 216. My prayers go out to the family.

Mrs Szuba and family,
I am very sorry to hear of Robert's passing. I first met him at a Boy Scout meeting when my father was the leader. He always had such a big smile on his face when he saw me and I loved talking with him. My family will always have a special place in our hearts for Robert and will miss him very much.

To the family: Please accept our condolences, when the enemy death strikes, grief can be great. Thus the Bible acknowledges that bitter grief that we feel when someone we love dies. And it is particular hard for the mother. And of course it is difficult for the bereaved father as well. But we encourage you to have confidence in the resurrection according to John 5:28 when our loved ones will be resurrected in perfect health. So draw close to God in prayer, and the Bible promises that "He himself will sustain you."--Psalms 55:22
