Mr Sandrlge was a wonderful gentleman. Unfortunately I did not get to know him until he moved to Senior living. I was blessed to visit with him and talk about Jesus, heaven and of course politics. I asked him if he minded being friends with a Republican and he grinned and said. “Sureâ€. He was precious and I’ll miss him. Thank you my friend for being my friend.

So sorry to hear of Bob;s passing. I hadn't seen him in several years but usually we talked on the phone maybe 3 or 4 times a year. we usually spent an hour or so recalling old times at Donaldson or Ouachita schools. He was one great basketball player and friend. I could spend hours telling stories about him but not enough space here. I will tell you about the thing i remember that you may not know, he drove the school bus when he was 16 for about 2 months because the man who usually drove got sick and no-one else was available. he was a great friend. Iwill miss him.
