May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I was saddened to learn of Robert's passing, even more so that I could not attend the service to pay my respects.  And for Robert, my respects are deeply felt and originate from the late 1980's through to the early 2000's when I had the honor and pleasure of working alongside Robert at Cahaba / SpawGlass.  I will not forget working with Robert at the Compaq Commons project in the late 1990's, a fairly complicated and high finish project which I believe could not have been built as efficiently and as well planned by anybody other than Robert.  He and I would walk the job, all levels, from one end to other, two or three times a day, and I doubt that any of the 40 plus subcontractors on the job got by with any less than three of four cell phone calls from Robert during each walk.

I am a very lucky man to have known and worked with Robert.

To the Scardino family:

I am so sorry to hear of Robert's passing.  I worked with him at Spaw-Glass and Cahaba and have many fond memories of him and respected him very much.

May God be very near you at this time of deepest sorrow, to comfort you and grant you strength to meet each new tomorrow.
With Love,

My Dear Sandra, Robin, Heath and family:
 What a beautiful service today for such a loving man. I think about Robert and my first thought is "That Man Loves His Family". Then my memory takes be back to NW45 Baseball--The beginning of the new fields and the huge part he had with the original construction of those fields. I can still picture him in his coaches uniform. Everyone admired & loved "The Scardino" family so very much. 
I loved hearing the stories today at the service about his life. His work, hunting, baseball, cars, family, precious grand daughter holding his hand, turning around to go back to Baylor to pick Robin up. Just a wonderful service today. I wish I could take some your pain away for just a moment. Walk slow and just take small steps for now. We will miss you Robert---

Sandra and Family,
My heart is sad because of your loss of Robert.  May God wrap His loving arms around you and give you His strength, comfort and love.  As you move forward on your grief journey, you and your family will be in my prayers.
Love you,

Reading this guest book, I am struck by the number of people who had father-like  relationships or experiences with Robert.  I am inspired to share and say thanks for  for my own such experience. I was just out of college, working, and desperately needed a car.I also was thinking of going back to school (which would mean little or no income). Robert and Sandra bravely and generously offered to co-sign for me to buy my first new car. That  vote of confidence came at a critical time in my life and was very important to me. When the car was ready, Robert and took me to the dealership to sign the papers. Heath came with him. Robert took me to a nearby gas station and bought my first tank of gas and made sure I knew how to get home for the dealership. He was smiling, encouraging and even seemed a little proud...kind of like a Dad. 
I am so sorry that Robert experienced such suffering his last years. He did get to see Heath and Robin grow into kind and  and  successful adults, build a new and lovely home with Sandra, walk his daughter  down the aisle, and welcome Calleigh to our world with a kiss. I am sure he thought he was the luckiest man in the world.

My sincere sympathy. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this very difficult time.

Dearest Scardinos,
We are shocked and saddened to learn of Robert's passing. He was a true gentlemen. Robert was a brave soul, as evidenced by his willingness to take on 12-15 young girls as their softball coach, which he continued, for several years. His patience and kindness was unprecedented in dealing with, not only the girls, but the parents, as well. We will always remember the fun times we had, traveling around to softball tournaments, and the tremendous effort demanded of Robert and Sandra to get everyone in the right place, at the right time. Robert was the kind of gentle, teaching individual that every parent is thankful to have their young daughters associated. I can only imagine how he cherished his baby g-daughter, as he was such an outstanding father to Heath & Robin, and a beloved uncle to Kim. What wonderful memories everyone has because of knowing Robert. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you as you cope with your terrible loss. 
We love you, Charles & Penny Murdaugh

Robin, Heath, and "Aunt Sandra": I was very saddened to hear of "Uncle Roberts" passing. Like the Cooper's y'all very much accepted me into your family. Although I lost touch, all of you were in my thoughts. I will always envy the closeness of your family. Together you will carry on.

Robert was always easy to talk with at the office.  He came across stern, but really had a fun soft side to him.  I enjoyed working around him.

The entire West family is deeply saddened to learn of Robert's passing. We were very honored to know Robert, having had the opportunity and pleasure to work with him in the girls' softball program at NW 45 when our kids were all growing up. He was so dedicated to the kids and the ideals of things being fair for every child who participated. He was always a man of his word and we are certain this is the way he was with everything in his life, personally and professionally.
We know he will be missed, but hope you are comforted by knowing he touched the lives of so many, especially our young people, in such a positive way.
Our deepest sympathy and prayers are with you now. May God give you comfort in the days to come.

Sandra, Robin, and Heath.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.  Have so many good memories of Robert and your family through the years.  We are so sorry for the suffering he endured.  So many very nice tributes to him.
Our love and prayers are with you all,
Kay, Ardis, Denise and Chris.

Dear Sandra, Heath & Robin, my heart & prayers go out to you at this time.  i will always remember the time that you took me skiing at Lake Travis in Austin, the nice little rope burn for not "letting go of the rope" as i was told to do!!!  And of course, plenty of bubble gum & pickles, as i am sure that you remember well!!  I am sorry that i will not be able to be there with you on the celebration of Roberts life, but my thoughts will be with you all day as they are today.  Always loving you all, Debie "Ermel" Risz

To those who worked with Robert he was direct in his communication, his words were his bond. and he was there ready to lend a helping hand. His presence always made for a better project for both client and company.  We will miss him for these reasons and the standards he set..Ken Leach

To Aunt Sandra,Heath and Robin,
I sat down and reflected back on my youth and it dawned on me that Uncle Robert was more like a brother to me, than an uncle.We shared countless weekends on the San Jacinto River skiing behind his first boat(MAMA'S KIDS)on a pair of water skis we saved up for from S&H green stamps.He and I spent many years hunting together and discussing family,he loved each and every member.I will miss  him dearly,but God had a new plan for him and he is in a better place now.My sympathy goes out to all of you for our loss,I will always have him in my heart

Sanda & Family,
 I know it's been a very long time since we all saw each other. But Leon & I have many fond memories of Robert as we all went thru our teens. Like Robert teaching me to drive stick shift. Going to Miller's & talking to him & Mr. S at the old gas station.

Tina Ceppi (Fredericksburg, TX)

Heath, Robin, and Mrs. Scardino - I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Gus; he was such a fixture in our formative years of high school and will be missed.  You guys will definitely be in the Ceppi family's prayers.

Robin, your family are in my prayers. Your father was such a nice man at all of the softball games. You could really tell you were daddy's little girl!! God will be there for you now in your time of need don't forget that!!

Sandra, Heath & Robin.....My heart is breaking for all of you. Robert was an outstanding - generous - huge hearted - man and I am glad I was able to be a part of his life. Prayers and love to all of you.

Although we are comforted in knowing that our dear loved ones who have gone to be with JESUS are in a far, far better place of ETERNAL REWARD, we acknowlege that we no longer have them with us, and we must await until THE LORD calls us HOME, when we may be reunited with them.  

Until then, our hearts go out to you and your family, and we pray the comfort of GOD help you during this difficult time.  ROBERT has touched the lives and hearts of many, and gave the eternal gift of so many happy memories and friendship. 

Our sincerest condolences, 
Jim and Dolores Brooks

Mrs. Scardino, Health, Robin, and the whole family. I am so sorry for your loss. I remember how cool and Italian I thought your dad was. Cool last name, nice dark features, etc. Yet, he was nothing like the Italian wise-guys portrayed in the movies. He was kind, and funny.

Hold close to your hearts the memories you created throughout the years and know your friends are only a call away.  Our deep felt condolences.

I am so sorry for your loss.  Robert will be missed!  Love you Sandra, Heath and Robin.

Having known Robert for so long makes it all the more difficult to realize he is not still with us, but his spirit lives on, and he is no longer in pain.  Sandra, you and he have been so very important in Paul's and and my life together, and I love every moment we have been able to share with the two of you throughout these last 50+ years.  What a joy to watch each others children grow into the fine people they have become.  Such wonderful memories to cherish, so many memories yet to be made by them.  Treasure what is to come and know that God is with you every step of the way. I love you with all my heart!

Aunt Sandra, Heath and Robin...Thank you for sharing such a wonderful man with me. I will always be known as the 3rd child. He was so good to me over the years that I could never repay the love he had for me and my family. The only way I have a smile on my face is knowing I will see him again some day. Uncle Robert you will always be in my heart and I look forward to the day we meet again. 

Love Kim (your 3rd child)

Mrs. Scardino, Robin and Heath, 

My heart is broken for yalls loss.  I remember Mr. Scardino fondly and always loved that yall were such a tight knit family.  May God wrap his arms around your loving family and give you strength for the days that follow.  Robin I love you girl with all my heart and if you ever need anything please don't hesitate to call. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you!!  Mr. Scardino may you RIP.

Robert was an incredible man, mentor & friend.  Back when I first started in the construction business and I was as green as green could be; he took me and several other like me under his wing and always made time to spend with us.  He was always patient, but always expeted results.  I can truely say he is someone who helped to groom me in our profession.  I will always miss him coming into my office in the afternoons (almost on a daily basis) with a sprite and snickers bar and saying "well what did you mess up today son, huh?"  I would always laugh and say "nothing yet, but give me a few minutes".  I knew that he never thought I messed something up he was just making sure that everything was ok.  I have, and I will miss him alot!

Sandra, Heath and Robin we are here for all of you in this time of sorrow.  Robert was such a fun loving man and always had a smile on his face.  He will be missed by everyone who knew him.
Love and Hugs,
Mary-Anne & Dan Fay

My heart is filled with all the wonderful memories of joyful times together as I was growing up...even as far back as you guys teaching me how to do the twist at Aunt Melba's house. I love you guys.
