I met Robert Stethem in the summer of 1984 

We were in school in Pt. Huneme, Ca. in 1984. He was a handsome young man who was very proud of his standing with the Navy. He was very easily liked...by everyone. We enjoyed many nights out on liberty and he was a fine gentleman. We became good friends. I was sitting in my living room in Adak, Alaska (1985) when I saw his picture on the news. I was both shocked, and shaken to hear of his death. It will remain with me to my death. Bobby...I still think of you my firend! Rest in peace!
