I am sorry to hear about your loss,we will miss him . You are in our thoughts and prayers
We will miss visiting at Mom and Uncle Wilfred's house.
As a cousin to Bob, I remember alot of fun times as children,playing games and tag,running around with not a care in the world. I liked to tease Bob about his last name[Forgie] I would call him Bob Froggie and he would let you know that wasn't his name.

Deborah,

I am so sorry to hear about your loss, you have my deepest sympathy.

I remember as a child I would always look forward to Bob and his mom coming over for a visit on Sunday afternoon after church. He was such a joy to be around, and his mom thought the world of her son, as she should have. I know she was so proud when he went to VMI. Bob had such a kind heart and soul. May God comfort you and hold you close. You are in my thoughts and Prayers. Cousin

I am very sorry to hear about Robert. I have very fond memories of Bob as his classmate and friend at Montvale Elementary and Liberty High. Robert was a childhood friend that I will always remember and smile.

We were so shocked and sorry to hear about Robert. Otis used to see him often when he went walking up the "Beale Trail Road" and he would tell me when he got home that he had "been talking with Robert." We both thought highly of him and admired his work ethic and his down to earth manner.
