Robert H. Gordon

Sorry the read about the passing of your husband. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I worked as the switchboard operator at the Clarion-Ledger/Jackson Daily News and he was always pleasant to work with.

Dear Jimmie Rae - Bob was all the things people have said and much, much more, but you already know that and have known it for 40 years. He loved you so much; all of us who knew him knew that. I will miss Half-pint; the world was a more gentle place with him in it. Bob left us all better than we were. I returned from a family vacation to this news or I would have been at the service. Please accept my heart-felt condolences. Most affectionately, Lynn Watkins

Jimmie Ray,

Bob was a special person; so smart, so good a friend and with such a great sense of humor. I know your life with him was filled with wonderful times.

Those good memories of your life together will cushion your pain and bring a smile to your heart when you most need it. Anne

Jimmie Ray:

I was so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. I was at the Daily News when he came to Jackson in 1997. I moved to Texas in 1984.

Bob was a champion of old school journalism and an inspiration to those who were privileged to serve with him in the pursuit of just and fair news coverage.

We will miss Bob.

God bless you.

Jimmie Ray, We are thinking and praying for you in this time of sorrow

I was in Highlands NC when my mother called and told me Bob had gone home to be with God. Since we lived in the same community I have such fond memories of Bob growing up together. Camping out together, going to Bob Scouts,School,Church, swimming in the river and so much much more. Glen Jones and I always thought Bob was the smartest kid we knew. You had a great friend and husband in Bob and I know you will be glad one day when you will see him again.
