Hayes R. Chatham

I met Robby when I worked at the international pets store in Edgewood. I talked them into hiring Robby at a very young age to care for the animals. He was a very compassionate man. I was shocked to hear of Marks passing and even more shocked to hear of Robby's passing. I didn't see him often but every now and then I would run into him and he always had a big smile on his face! Rest in peace Robby! I know you and your best friend, your brother Mark are finally hanging out again and having a blast in heaven!!!

Robby was a true friend and very hard worker for me for many years at the pet store. He could build and fix anything! He will be missed!

I am just now hearing about the unfortunate passing of Hayes...I am shocked. I met him in late 2006 when I began working at Churchville Vet as a kennel helper. I hit it off w/ him right away, and for the next 3 yrs found myself spending more and more time talking and laughing w/ him than doing my own work at the Vet! You could come into work in a bad mood, but if Hayes was working, that mood would soon turn into a positive one, as his energy was contagious and his laughter was infectious. He was such a good guy, so entertaining, so funny, a great personality and character. Also such a proud father and devoted family man, always talking fondly of his kids and loved-ones. It was all jokes w/ Hayes until he was talking about his kids and family. You could tell just how much love he had for each and every one of them. We lost contact after I left the Vet in 2009, and I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to talk and laugh w/ you again, man. You were a great guy, and I look forward to seeing you again some day... Suddenly the lyrics from one of Hayes' favorite songs comes to mind... "And I dropped by today to just say thanks and pray, and I left a six-pack right there on his grave and I said, "God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy."
