Carla, You have been in my thoughts and prayers since I heard of Robert's death. I remember how hard it was for me when I lost my late husband,of 36 years. What helped me was staying busy..with our business and being close to our church family.Even though I am married again....I still miss him.
I am right next door...if you need anything.

Carla and Family,
My heart is broken for you. I had so looked forward to playing and singing with Robert again. You were both always good friends. May you find comfort in those memories of all those years ago When we were just kids learning about life. My love to you all.

Carla and family,
I am so saddened to hear of Robert's passing. Carla, I think of you and Robert fondly from our days together in Arkadelphia back in the late 70s when Robert, Keith (my ex), and Ken Sanders had their band. Robert was such a talented, honest, good man, and I had many laughs with him when we worked at the Hallmark shop together! May your memories of happy times with him sustain all of you through your sadness.

Robert was a friend of mine since we were neighbors in the 60’s in Meadowcliff. We camped out as kids, fished together often as adults, and shared many stories with each other. Robert was a family man and a good Christian. He will be missed by all. My prayers and thoughts are with his wife, and family.

Some of my most favorite memories are singing with Robert. We had the most fun practicing, laughing at ourselves and worshipping together in song. People often thought we were related and I will always consider Robert my brother. He and Carla and their family are just an extended part of our family. Love you guys.

Robert was my buddy at work, I miss him a lot. He was a good person, which is hard to find these days. We talked a lot about retiring so we could camp, fish, and hunt all the time. My heart is broken because he and Carla can't enjoy retirement together. See you again some day friend.

Robert had it figured out, even at work... God first and then family! I will miss seeing him walk into work with his red, igloo lunchbox, smiling and waving. He would often come into my office and talk about what was going with the family, from Adam building his house, the kitchen remodel, the grandkids wearing him out over the weekend, or even past stories like doing karate with the kids. My favorite stories were of "that boy of mine" where he tried to convince me that Adam was more than old enough to move out. I let him know when the time came he'd miss him. And sure enough shortly after Adam moved out, he showed up in my office letting me know I was right. I'm truly heartbroken that Robert isn't with us anymore, but I also know he is happy, healthy, and singing in Heaven! My thoughts and prayers are with you, Carla and family!
With love,

I worked with Robert at AASIS Service Center for 15+ years. He was a good man, dry wit, but a hard worker and very dependable. He was always willing to learn new things and help anywhere he was needed. He will be missed. He was a good Christian man and I'm sure he is playing and singing in Heaven, happy and pain free. So sorry for your loss, praying for the family during this time!!
