Robert,
I am so sorry to see that your Dad passed away. "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his faithful servants." Psalms 116:15. He was always a gentle and patient man. Looking back, I can tell he was a man of prayer and loved God with all of his heart. I know that I know that it is primarily because of your Dad's and Mom's prayers is the reason that I know Jesus this day. I have thought of him many times and blessed him in my prayers. it will be such a blessing when the day comes to see him and your mom again. They really have a special place in my heart, even down to the chicken and dumpling recipe that I still cook to this day. My heartfelt condolences to you all. I will be in Arkansas in 2 weeks and will visit their gravesite. (it is literally walking distance for me to stop by in which i have often done in the past when I am there) May the Lord bless you and keep you gently close to His heart for "the Lord is is close to the brokenhearted" Ps 34:18a Sheila

Our condolences to Rob, Pam and Robin and all that knew and loved Troy. I grew up with Robert so I knew Troy my entire life. He was a hard working man that loved and took care of his family. A more kind and patient man you'll not find. I'm sure he is now back with the love of his life and the are happy together once more.
Love you guys!
