He enjoyed all of these activities, but he loved them even more when he was able to do them in the company of the love of his life, Cheryl. He was preceded in death by his parents, Roscoe Lee Cole and Dorothy Lenore June Cole; brothers, Raymond Cole and Randy Cole; sister, Marilyn Steward; and life partner, Cheryl Larsen. Robert is survived by his daughter, Lisa LaJune Cole; sisters, Sheri Lingel, Linda Weninger, and Dorothea (Bill) Howard; brother, Ricky (Debbie) Cole; and four grandchildren, Kray Cole, Kiala Cole, Greyson Gallagher, and Caprice Gallagher. “You’ll find him… In a piece of drift wood An antler waiting to be carved A jar of marbles on a shelf A blank page awaiting the man on the moon… The sound of rock and roll blaring from a speaker… A motorcycle flying by The sight of a father teaching his daughter to fish… A can of coke His grandbabies smile… And of course, the tune from a guitar. He is here, he was there, I’ll look for you everywhere. I love you bigger Than the sky Always your weezy tunes.
