Robby, you will be missed by our entire family! We will miss the smiles, casual waves when you got home, and the unusual noises that came from your garage any time the Hogs were playing!!! We know you are in a better place but that does not make it any easier to say good bye to a friend. We love you, The Taylor's

Not only were you a friend of Tim's, but also a friend to me. I will never forget the camping trips with you and Rhonda and all the fun times we had. I will miss you over the years, especially on the Fourth of July. It was our tradition to go over to your house for fireworks. You always loved that. I will always cherish the memories and how you used to call me "Carla Jean". You are in a better place now and without pain.

We knew Robby when he and Maury were growing up and lived in the Sturbridge area of Little Rock. He was a good kid, and he and our "L'il" Maury always did things together. As they got older, they grew apart - as often happens, but we have very fond memories of Robby coming over to the house. While your hearts are burdened now, may you have the strength to go through each day and know that peace will come to you. Reminisce about the good times, for it will make you stronger. We wish you, his family, peace. Love, Maury and Naomi Loket

I can't believe you left us; we've got so much left to do. But for reasons I don't understand the Lord took you. I know your last days on this old earth were troubled but I will never forget the good times, the laughter and fun we shared together. So good bye old friend until I see you again.

Dear Rob, You defintely defined the meaning of "true friend" to me. Over the years you became a brother to me and I'm going to sorely miss you. I never had so much fun going fishing and catching absolutely nothing but the rays of sun. It didn't matter, we just enjoyed being 2 "brothers from different mothers" didn't we? I'll still take you fishing throughout the years and we'll see what them lures you gave me last year for my birthday can do. Maybe I'll finally catch that "magombo" bass I alway said I was everytime we went fishing. I do take absolute comfort in knowing we got to say our goodbyes to one another in our way before you left. I love you brother and I'll see you later. God bless you and welcome your kind soul. Tim Forthman
