Debra, I have known you at least 60, Iāve never heard of a love like the one you had with Robert, āhey for the day ā was my greeting to Robert, I know you said I called to much but you made me feel comfortable talking to you both . Certain things you can only say to certain people and they were my go too couple. Debra you will never find a love like that, so cherish the memories, on those impossible days, think about something he did or said and smile. He loved you, you loved him, canāt ask for more than that and you and Robert were blessed with 52 years of marriage, thatās a novelty you canāt buy that kind of love, you can put that in a book. So think about the caramel/ cheese popcorn and laugh, I do. All my love to you, he will truly be missed by me and there will always be an empty place in my life. Love you Debra, I will miss you Robert see again on the other side. Much Love, Robbie
I am truly shocked! I just discovered that my childhood school friend Robert Burris has transitioned. I haven’t seen Debra or he in some years. We all lived in the same neighborhood around 23rd and Lloyd in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the 60s. We went to Brown Street school together. Robert and I were close friends, and I am truly shocked and hurt. Robert and I used to eat at each other’s houses. I can remember when he met Debra; it was love at first sight. He was a great friend and was very athletic especially in touch football. We used to love to walk down to Sears and look at the bicycles. He was a special friend and I will not forget him. Extreme heartfelt condolences to Debra and family from Richard and Jewel Rodgers Menomonee Falls Wisconsin 53051
What can I say about the perfect couple – so sorry for your loss Debra/Family, but hold on to those precious & sweet memories. Iām so happy for the beautiful life you shared!!!
I always felt welcome in your home and will definitely feel the difference of Robert not physically being there, but great memories (when you saw one, the other was certainly nearby) – Such Love š!
Robert was like a big brother when I was around him, always smiling and full of laughter, jokes. I will always remember Robert as a fine example of fun-loving family man. —— SKEETER
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, we look forward to seeing Robert again healthy and happy.
Rev: 21:3,4 ” He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”

Robert is my husband and the love of my life. His loss is being felt by everyone that was lucky enough to know him. They don’t make many like him. This is the picture he gave me in high school and on the back he wrote to the girl I’m going to marry one day. Married for 52 beautiful years……I’ll always love you baby!
Robert was the love of my life. He was a great husband, awesome father and grandfather. Being married to him for 52 years was not quite long enough. I only wish more could experience the love we had. His legacy will forever stand. I will always love you Baby!
