Robert Alcorn Obituary

Robert Edward Alcorn, 53, of Thaxton, Va., (better known by friends as Huggie), accepted an offer he couldn't refuse, eternity with the Lord, on October 5, 2008. Huggie was one that had an avid love for hot rods and the eye to see the good in everything and everyone. Left to carry on his memory is his daughter, Shellie Alcorn and "son-in-law" Chris; sisters, Virginia Koger and husband, Ray, Ramona Wimmer and husband, Bobby; brother, Timothy J. Alcorn; and many other family members and special friends. There will be a gathering of family only from 2 to 3 p.m. and a memorial service for all at 3 p.m. on Sunday, October 12, 2008, at Riverdale Baptist Church. The family suggests in lieu of flowers, that a donation be made to your favorite charity in Huggie's memory.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
