Dearest Cha'lotte,
With you and your family in heart and spirit at the sudden lost of your outstanding and thoughtful dad. Clearly a role model and inspiration who made an great impact in you, in his community and in the life and wellness of many. He will continue to watch over you with a warm smile and will elevate you and your brothers with his legacy of courage and wisdom. I felt I got to know him through you. Wishing you and all his loved ones serenity and harmony. Sad that...

I am sorry for your loss. May prayer comfort you.

1 Thessalonians 5:17 "Pray constantly."

Very fine man, always congenial and God bless the family at this time...Susan Bayliss

Bob was a man of great integrity, love, faith, and a twinkle in his eye. I am fortunate to have been able to call him my friend. Forever I will remember his antidotes for grafting camellias. He loved to get the mail, and try to hide the cataloges from Betsy, by buring them in the old news papers. He will be missed by all who knew him, and I am saddened by his loss. I rejoice in his entry into the Eternal Kingdom.

Sorry to hear of his passing. Dr. Holmes was a wonderful source of counsel for me for the 16 years I was mayor and I would call him for his advice knowing he always had us all and our future in his concern. He took no credit but his influence was great.
You were one of our finest.
