Dear Sox Family,

Debbie and I have you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

I was so sorry to hear of Robbie's passing. Our families were neighbors for many years in West Columbia. We were children then and over the years we had lost touch. My Mother and Mrs. Sox remained friends until my mother passed away. Please express my sympathy to Gordon and his family. My thoughts and prayers are with you .

Dear Christine and Sox family,
You are in my thoughts and prayers. I worked with Robert at DHEC at State Park Health Center many years ago. He was a dear friend and kept us laughing with his keen sense of humor. He was very kind and the type of person everyone would want to work with. I had not seen him in many years but I will always remember him. I wanted to express my deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Dear Christie,

To the Sox family,

I had the pleasure of working with Robert for many years at the DHEC lab. We also played softball together on the DHEC city league team. Robert was a fine man and colleague. May the Lord bless and keep you during this time.
