Robert and I played music together since we were 12-13yrs old. He was one of my best and dearest friends and I already miss him dearly.

I met Robert back in 1974-5 and we wound up being friends over the years and played a lot of gigs together. He had such great tone and style and added so much. Funny guy, too. It was great being your roommate for a few years, Robert. Enjoy your gig in Heaven's band.

I just spoke with Robert a few days before his passing, as always, he was up beat and said, I praise the Lord, I'm so blessed. I've known Robert over 30 years, we played together for many years as the Jammer Kids, Bill Lowery Talent days. He was always a peace maker and enjoyed life. He was a good friend, he will be missed and always remembered with fond memories. Joe Russell, Las Vegas, Nevada

"Flames",
I wish we'd had the chance to reconnect and reminisce about the years on the road and the long conversations that we had in the wee hours of the morning when you helped me stay awake while I was driving the bus. You've been very much in my thoughts in these years that have passed, and you will continue to be in my thoughts the future. Rest in peace, my friend.... "Dex"

Robert played in my band for a few years.
I have said this many times to many of my friends, and some of his. He is the sweetest player of a song i have ever heard.
The tone and smooth approach to playing a tune was just beautiful to me.
Now he gets to play with the angels, and i know he is sounding soooo sweet.
Rest in peace dear robert.

I worked with Robert off and on many times since 1975 when we both worked for Donna Fargo. A great guy and a great guitar player. He will be missed.
