Robert "Robes" Patton

May 21, 1959-September 28, 1998

Well they built the Titanic to be one of a kind,
but many ships have ruled the seas

They built the Eiffel Tower to stand alone,
but they could build another if they please

Taj Mahal, the pyramids of Egypt,
are unique I suppose


But when they built you,
brother, they broke the mold

When they built you, brother,
they turned dust into gold

When they built you, brother,
they broke the mold

They say you can't take it with you,
but I think that they're wrong


'Cause all I know is I woke up this morning,
and something big was gone


But love is a power greater than death,
just like the songs and stories told

And when they built you, brother,
they broke the mold

Such lovely sentiments. Is that a Boss song? If it isn't it should be. See you at Tico's.
