You were a great person. Work hasn't been the same without hearing your laugh throughout the day. Fly high my friend! We won't forget you!

Fly high buddy

I knew Robert when we were teenagers. I am so sorry for your loss. He was an amazing person.

I'll always remember the spin you put on the cue ball and the lessons you shared. Rest easy, friend.

My best friend and brother from another mother who shared a bedroom with my brother Ronnie and I for a solid decade. In the 89s and 90s.
I know they're both up there calling dibs on the good beds and I'll be at the closet with the rat bat rest while you can Bro,
When I get there I'll get them back roads for better than when we did in Marshall county, beautifully ,without a care in the world.
