You only had to know Robert to see what a simple God fearing person he was, Robert would give you the shirt off his back, he has helped our family numerous times with electrical problems, in fact he helped me several months ago, I literally cried when I saw his obituary in the paper, Robert senior raised a good son, Robert senior helped me many times when we worked together, as we called it back then "government jobs" I grieve with his family, as we just buried my dad in the same cemetery 2 weeks ago, we come from GOD and we go back to GOD.

I'm so sorry to hear about Robert's passing. We were neighbors growing up on John France Rd. Later on he started doing work for my parents (Bobby & Pat Church) & for the entire family. We all thought alot of Robert & my Mom loved cooking country food for him. He was a kind, christian man with a work ethic like no other !!! We will miss him !! Sending prayers to his kids & family.
