Not sure what to say?

I am one of the many who walked through the doors at Walmart to be greeted warmly and as a friend by Robert. When he wasn't there the past couple of times I went in, I was afraid to ask, but I asked today. His warm smile will be missed. I know that Robert is with his wife--happy and complete. May his family find peace in knowing how many peoples' lives he touched.

To Shirley Debbie Sue and families,
Just sitting here trying to find the words to express how I feel. I'm so sorry for your loss.Uncle Robert will be greatly missed but he will always be in my heart.I wish I could have been there with the family. My prayers are with the family. I love you all.

Shirley, I don't know if you remember me from high school, but my mom and I looked forward to seeing your dad with every visit. When he retired because of illness mom always sent him little pick-me-up cards. You can find peace in knowing that your dad is greeting others at heaven's gate with that same sweet smile and a kind word for everyone he meets.
With thoughts and prayers for all of your familly,
Cheryl Burnham Nicholas and Jane Burnham

I knew your father, Robert from Walmart. In the two years I have worked there, we talked every morning that we both worked. Seven or eight months ago, I told him that I was engaged to be married. Robert and I talked for a long time that morning. I won't ever forget what he said to me. He looked into my face and said "No matter how long you're married it's never long enough. Then he told me about his wife and best friend. Words of wisdom from a man who knew. He was a very special person...

I only knew Robert as a greeter at Walmarts but he made me smile and loved to talk to people as they came there. My prayers are with his famiy at this time. I know its hard to lose someone close but always remember the good times and know he is with you all the time now. I was in Walmarts tonite and one of the managers told me about your dad, I wanted you to know he was a Great man and he will be missed by alot. My prayers are with you all.
