We were glad to make Robert's acquaintance when son Bob brought him to some of the revival meetings we had at our church last fall. What a kind, Christian gentleman. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. May God grant you hope and strength at this time of loss. Pastor John Hood and your friends at the Waterford Riverside Seventh-day Adventist Church.

As a new Christian, Bob encouraged me to work with children and I found that I learned much about living the Christian life with them. I thank God that He used you in my life. Bill Pugh
