One year ago, we lost one of our PPI advisers. "Every one who knew him, had no doubt about Robert's love for the next generation. As a father, mentor, teacher, seminarian, reporter and policy analyst, Robert always went out of his way, to put a smile on the faces of the lives he touched. Robert has a unique charm to him, he knew when to show tough love, and challenge people, and still somehow be positive." Chirag M. Bhojwani, Silver Spring Fire Department, Former PPI Managing Director
