Marion, Bobby and Woods,
I understand the loss you feel. I lost my mother last January. I'll miss Bobby tremendously, as I did the other Bob (Brinkley). My deepest sympathy to the entire family.

I offer my sincere sympathy to the Wannamaker family. Bobby and I not only were classmates at DHS, but also spent three years together at Clemson; and, worked together one summer at the Highway Department. I always enjoyed renewing our friendship at Class Reunions. May God bless and comfort your family.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and all family members in this time of sorrow. Uncle Bob was a fun loving soul, that would do just about anything for you. His smile and laughter will be missed by all of us. The grand times at Lake Murray, Clemson Football games, and going to the dental office will always be in my memories, forever.

Jamie and Robert, may the Peace of the Lord be with you both as you grieve the loss of your father. With deepest sympathy, Margo Allen
