Robert Lee, Sandy, Shari , Nancy and I grew up together sharing time at their Grandmothers’ Mary and My grandmother, Annie. Years we spent in the creek, climbing hills and swinging in swings. The best memories of childhood with family. Robert Lee bought my grandmothers’ homestead; therefore, establishing that as family homestead filled with memories. Robert Lee was a gift to all of us with his sweet kindness. Thank you for all the family memories. Susan

Robert was a cousin of mine who I will always remember as being just so kind and gentle to everyone. I will always have memories of him at the furniture store and visiting his sweet mom and dad who ,back then , lived across the street.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all of his family as they grieve his loss.

Dear Kay and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I do remember my cousin, Robert Lee, fondly, as he was a gentle soul from the beginning. He, my sisters and cousin, Susan, spent many teenage hours climbing in my grandmother’s plum trees and catching guppies in the creek with the tea strainer.
God bless you, Robert Lee, you were a wonderful man. My prayers are with you, Kay,

My uncle was a special man. His love for family ran deep. He ran Brown's Furniture store for many years along with his wife. I know Hannah, his daughter, Lee, his son and I caused him grief when we would jump in all the new mattresses stored in the back of the store. However, I will always remember his love for the outdoors and that he lived life on his own terms. I love you Uncle Rob and yet know you are now at peace and reunited with loved ones. In your memory, I will be donating to St. Jude's.
