I know several people who still have a fear of going to a dentist as adults. It has never been a problem for me and I attribute that to my first dentist - Dr. Roberston. He was a true kind, compassionate and skilled professional in his field. May he rest in peace.

Prayers for faith and comfort. Bob was a mighty good man who will be greatly missed. He devoted many volunteer hours to Community Outreach, of which I shall always be grateful.
