one of Mr. Lehr's former Sunday school students, I have witnessed first-hand the goodness of this man. It was always an immense pleasure for me to speak to Mr. Lehr whenever I would happen to see him. My life is richer for having known Bob Lehr. My thoughts and prayers are with the Lehr family.

Barbara, Susan, and David,
I am truly saddened to hear about Bob. I have a lot of very fond memories of him growing up on Roosevelt Street in West Memphis. He always walked across the street to my parents' house to say hello to me whenever he saw me, whether I was on my way to work, or even in later years, out in the yard playing with my own children. He was a very kind man. I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. Kristi Weis Lester

I have fond memories of Mr Lehr in his kakki pants and soft spoken voice checking on David and I as we hung out at the barn or played basketball late at night or when Barbara and I got caught up in conversation in the drive way. He was truly a good man and kind soul. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

One of my most favorite people in the world. The finest example of a "gentleman" that I have ever known. I always said he was just a "sweet person". My prayers for his family in their grief.
