Not sure what to say?

Some higher light has prompted thoughts of Rob, albeit several months late. He was indeed a very special person and I'm grateful to have known him, as I am for our Nashville connection. I send deep sympathy to his family.

Bob delighted so many with his stories! He was a loyal officer and supporter of Volunteer State Tellers, Tennessee's statewide storytelling organization.

My grandfather was one of the bravest man to live

Rob's light shone in steady and transforming ways, never pretentious or praise-seeking, and genuinely and continuously generous. Like the music he made and the stories he told, he was and is a gift, a nurturing presence, alive in us. I thank you, and I celebrate you, Rob...........

Rob Harwell was a fine, thoughtful, caring man. The beginning words from one of Shakespeare's sonnets are perfect for celebrating his life appropriately: "Who is it that says most which can say more than this rich praise --- that you alone are you?"

Rob was such a giving friend and made such an impact on the community.
He has left a " hole " in Nashville.
