We first met Robert in the Culpeper nursing home where my mother Catherine Wilburn is a resident. Her room was across the corridor from his and we would have him come over to eat lunch with her on Saturdays when we would visit. We got to know him very well and he would sing the Lord's Prayer for us. Robert was such a kind and loving man, full of the spirit of God and the love of Christ. We will miss him greatly. Our condolences to all the family.
