When my roommate Robert left Princeton to transfer to UNC he gave me his Bo Diddley album because he said I got more use and pleasure out of it than he did. I still have it. Years later we ended up in Asheville at the same time and had the chance to resume our relationship.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss. My name's Darrell Reed and I live at the end of Reed Street, across from you. I've seen your late husband many times outside working around your beautiful home. I meant to stop several time and say hello and introduce myself but never got around to it. Again, I'm sorry for your loss. If I can help in any way please let me know. My cell is 828-335-3085.

Deborah,

I am still in shock so I know you must be as well. I just attended a memorial service at Givens Estates for one of our endearing residents. I couldn't help but think about Robert also, another gentle seemingly wonderful man. I only wish I had gotten to know him sooner. May you and your family be comforted by the love of God and one another. Cherish your memories.

Robert Wiltshire was my boyhood friend. We anchored the left side of the Hermitage High football line together. We shared many experiences.
Robert was a true gentleman and will be missed
badly by all.

Respectfully,

Robert meant a lot to me when he was working with GO! He helped me want to donate significantly and to try to get others involved. My son Luke Weldon Perry worked closely with him and highly respected him.

I am so, so, so sorry he is not here in person with us any more, for even more good he would be doing!
