Our wonderful Uncle Robert was a very important relative in our lives. My Mother’s younger brother, he was gracious and kind and so faithful to both of our parents. They loved him dearly and he went out of his way to help them as their health declined. I will never forget this. I am so blessed in the knowledge that we who love Jesus, will see him again in Heaven. Prayers for his/our family in our loss. ❤❤

I attended PHS with Robert Pyle in 1953 and 1954. And, I got to know him on our PHS band trips. And, he was a lot of fun to be around.

So sorry for you're loss, Dr Pyle was a wonderful man. I was both a client and a friend. Always enjoyed fishing with him and because of him I have a son.
