Dear Family,
My deepest sympathy is extended to all of you: wife, children, grand children and to Robert’s sister, who he loved dearly, during this sad time.
Robert started his ‘working’ future at a very early age and was good at it. He enjoyed life at an early age
….especially his boat and new car when he graduated from Cleburne High School in 1960. To my knowledge Robert had a great family that he was exceptionally proud of, especially his son(s).
He was a grounded steward as he cared for his elderly father, who was 93(?), for many years although he often did not feel well himself. Also he tolled many long hours taking care of his privately owned business as a young father.
He is remembered as a friend and a hard worker in my mind who put his family first. May you all be thankful for his life and continue to serve others just as he did.
With sympathy to all. May comfort and peace from our heavenly Father now encompass this void in your lives.
Sincerely,
Mary Anne Rawlins Phillips
