I have cleaned Robert’s teeth for years and I always looked forward to our visits. He was very entertaining to talk with. I always told him he needed to write a book but to get full benefit would need to listen to audio of book. He was quite the story teller. I’m sorry I am just learning of his passing.
Bobby was such a great man. My prayers for the family.
"Rob" was a life-long friend, schoolmate and fellow church member of First Presbyterian Church in Paris in our youth. I loved him and his family. May bless his soul and comfort his family.
Sorry for your loss ! What a pleasure to work with Bob. I met him in 1975 at Shell and remained friends with him. He loved his great State of Arkansas and talked about it many times.
He will be missed!
Alton and I send our deepest sympathy. Bobby was a great dominoes player. Prayers for the family.
Sorry to hear of Bobby's passing. He always knew Ronnie and always ask about his dad Cotton. The Oil Field had a lot of good memories for both of them. Prayers for the family!
Grew up with Bobby in Paris High Shool and Univ. of Arkansas. Good memories. He was a person that had lots of friends. Praying for family.
Bob was a good friend and co worker to so many of us at Shell Deer Park. To say Bob was a Character would be an understatement. Lots of good memories. Prayers for the family
Our condolences to the family. Bobby was a good and caring neighbor to us. May God wrap his comforting arms around the family during this difficult time.
