For many of us this world has much darkened with wonderful Robert Funderburk no longer in it. With such a sharp intellect and keen wit, he has been the finest, most thoughtful, kindest, and most noble man we've ever known. I can't imagine going on without his constant prayers and cheering me on. Oh! How we shall miss him! We count our lives blessed to have had him in them. We send heartfelt condolences to the Funderburk family. Our hearts ache for you at losing such a rare gem and true prince of a man, a man who so dearly and deeply loved each of you. Until we meet him again on a glorious day upon Heaven's splend'rous shore, not a day shall pass when he'll not be remembered with much love. With heartfelt sympathy, ArLeen and Robert Lonneker

I worked with Bob for several years. He was always there for you and would do anything for you. When everyone else had gone, he was always there to help you tie down your equipment and give you a ride to the shop. Bob and I had several laughs together. He was the best and will be missed by all.

I didn't know Bob Funderburk very well; we acknowledged each other and that was it. He was always courteous when I did see him. A decent & capable guy. Requiescat in pace.
