Robert was a good neighbor and we will miss him so much love for all
Our prayers are with your family. So sorry for your loss
He was a good man. I enjoyed his compay. He will be missed.
Robert was such a good, hardworking man. He never wanted to stop working as that gave him purpose and energy. I will always remember that sparkle in his eyes when he smiled, which was often. He will be missed by many and so fondly remembered.
I wished that I had more time to tell the man I’ve known my whole life that I loved him. Forever in my heart. Prayers for the grieving family on both sides! May peace be upon you.
My sympathies to you and family. Much love..
He loved family, any and all family & he considered many friends as family. He loved to eat and going out to eat. He enjoyed working in the yard & coming over spending time with us watching tv, we always enjoyed his company. He liked to travel. He didn’t talk a lot, he didn’t hear a lot either lol. Our dogs sure did love Robert & he wasn’t a dog person but little bit loved him. Lots of good times and good memories. We loved him so much, he is truly going to be missed.
Uncle Robert wasn’t much of a talker, but when he did talk he gave solid advice about men, me with my boy problems. He always welcomed me and my crazy kids at his house & never got on to them. He was full of love. He sure did love his Ethan & Tyler though. Robert loved to fish, he took Mayson fishing & was very patient with him. We sure will miss him!
Sympathy and Prayers for the family from David and Claire. We love you friends.
My hope is that everyone will find peace during this time I pray for healing as people grieve . Robert was a hard working quiet man , my condolences to all .
I am so grateful that I met Robert and spend time around him. He was very Humble, Caring, Loving , Patient and a very Easy person to be around. I do wish I got to spend more time with him – He will be definitely Missed by Friends and Family.
We will Always Cherish Robert and his memories.
Robert will be missed dearly. He enjoyed coming to the house and sitting in the chicken yard with Jeff. He would laugh at the chickens and Miss Truffles our potbelly pig. If he got the remote control first, he would always put on a western movie. Thank the good Lord for allowing us to have him in our lives. Always in our hearts. P.S. every time I see the blue dutailier rocker, I will smile. It will always remind me of you and the good times we shared. Love Melanie and Jeff💞💞💞
As many have said, ” Robert was a hard working” busy fellow. ” His now-lonely wife, Linda Kay will have much for which to care. To her I give a hopeful condolence:
May the love
. of those around you
bring comfort
in the days ahead.
