A Celebration ofLife
A time to be born.
On March 1,1943, in Haiti, a beautiful baby boy was born to Christian and Marianna Chouloute Sanon. They name him, "Robert."
A time to learn, live and love.
Robert came to America in 1969 to look for a better life and greater opportunities. In 1971, he met and married, Edna Altema, a beautiful young lady from his homeland. Robert was a Nursing Assistant at University Hospital, until his health began to fail. Dedicated to the task of achieving at the highest level, he excelled in every endeavor. He was a member of the Grand Orient of Haiti.
A time to die...
On Tuesday, November 1, 2005, Robert made the transition from life into the presence of Gods domain. He leaves to cherish his memory: a loving and devoted wife, Edna A. Sanon; three sons, Yves R. (Shalawn) Sanon, Johnson (Magdaline) Sanon, Jack Robert (Debra) Sanon; five daughters, Barbara (James) Sanon-Allen, Deborah Sanon, Marie (Jason) Sanon Parker, Diane (Jean Marie) SanonFranks and Marjorary Nicolas; three brothers, Kenol (Lamercie) Sanon, Rosemond Sanon and Luke Sanon; one sister, Bernadette Sanon; sixteen grandchildren; four great grandchildren and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, relatives and friends.
