Dear Family: Am so sorry to read of Robert’s death. It’s just so hard to think of these three loses so close together for your family.
Please know that I am thinking of your family right now. We still feel such a void here at work in the planning office. Marion’s chair continues to be vacant as does his office. We always knew about Marion’s family–he told us so much about each of you. Please be comforted in knowing they are with our Lord now. Much Love, FREDDA GREER
Dear Judy and Matt: It is with heartfelt sadness that I learned of Robert’s death. While working with him on projects at Mountain Neurological Center it was obvious he was a man of great faith and integrity. He always spoke of you and Matt with great love and pride. It was a privilege and inspiration to have known him. I know your memories will be of great comfort. My sympathy and love go out to you and Matt.
Robert and I spent 12 years of school together; Fairview Elementary and Reynolds High. I will always remember him as a good and kind friend, and the best trumpet player in the band. I hope you will find comfort and peace in knowing that the Lord has welcomed him home.
Dear Family,
Sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is to lose a loved one to cancer. May God grant you His Peace and Comfort. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Judy, Many of us here at BellSouth in Charlotte were saddened to hear about Robert. We have been thinking of you and the family. Again, our sincere sympathy.
Marie, Beverly and family, our deepest sympathies for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you.
Marie, you cannot begin to know how much your friendship has meant to me over the years that you and I worked together. You helped guide me through some pretty rough times, whether you knew it or not. I am so sorry to hear of your many losses over the past year; I know just how much your family has meant to you. God Bless you all.
Robert was such a fine friend. We worked together for many years and even shared time together with our families in Charleston (Seabrook Island). After we both left Schwitzer he entered my mind often and I wish even more that I would have contacted him. My prayers are sure with you all and understand that this all fits like a puzzle in Gods plan.
Judy,
I’m so sorry for you loss. I know that Robert will be greatly missed.
