Dear family,
You don't know me but I knew Bob and Stump well. I had the privilege to hunt snowshoe hare with Bob three times behind his dog. I also met Jake on our last hunting trip with Dan Master and his son Nathan.
Bob was a brother of the blood.
He will be deeply missed.

Dear Karen, Muriel, Susan, Donna, Robert, Lauren & Jake,

Bobby was our neighbor, the brother we never had. Muriel would watch us if Mom didn't get home in time and Susan would baby sit us when my parents went out. When we couldn't find my Dad, my Mom knew he was having some laughs with Bob and Bobby. Bobby and I were in a play in 8th grade that half the neighborhood "starred" in. Our class would hang at Zayre's or Carr Park, and Bobby was always there with a smile on his face. He would always make sure "I got home alright!" Bobby and his Dad dug my sister and I out of the snow when I insisted on going to the mall one night and our car got stuck coming up the hill! We became part of the Reed Family, celebrating with them at their family weddings, including Bobby and Karen's. I think we were neighbors for over 21 years! I just can't believe he is gone ... way too soon for all of you. Our hearts are heavy and prayers are being said on your behalf. Keep his most wonderful smile always in your hearts!

Love, The Evangelista Family --- Ralph, Loretta, Lisa & Juli

Dear Muriel and the Reed Family -
I am so sorry to read of your son's passing. Many years and miles have passed since we (Muriel and I) attended Medford High together. Those were our halcyon days before some of life's disappointments touched our hearts. I know your grief at losing your son so young and in the prime of his life will take its personal toll for you and Rob's family. Be assured he is free and with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and may your Robert's soul and all the souls of the faithful departed in the Springer and Reed families, rest in the peace of the Lord. With deepest sympathies, your friend and classmate from long ago, Ann (Drennan) Forsyth formerly of Medford. 8025 Farmington Blvd., Germantown, TN 38138
