“I remember Robert L. Christian as a teenager in the 60's. He lived with his father, mother and younger brother in Rome, NY and attended a COGIC church. My family and his family were friends and spent time together at church functions in Rome and Utica, NY. He was a nice young man and is sorely missed. ” - Joanne Griffin
