Robert C. "Red" Jenkins

Red said that there must have been A strong force that pulled us together, after meeting Jennett and Fred at a bookstore in Alabama.
We had crossed paths many time while living in the falls, but really got to know him as A friend in Mississippi and Alabama. Everytime We saw him, he said I made Him laugh. Red was a brave man. We were so happy to get to know him and lend a helping hand in his time of need. May God bless all of his family and friends in their time of morning. Brian and Kim...

Bobby my dear cousin whom I thought was so unique and strong. When he walked into a room or the family reunion you had to stop and notice. He always noticed you and made you feel so special even when he was sick. He sent me birthday cards and always stopped to talk and show he cared. This was rare in this busy world and now how I wish I would have shared more and cared more. The Lord is always teaching us through beautiful people like Bobby. I am very thankful that he is my cousin and...

I only met Red once, but once was enough. I was attending a dance convention with my son, who has multiple disabilities. When Jason introduced us to Red, he and Josh connected spirit to spirit; I could see Red's soul shine through that day. I truly believe that those who live in the Lord never see each other for the last time. Later, Red.

My deepest sympathy. Red was a good friend for many years.

Red was a nice, gentle, kind man, whom I've known for many years and never could remember how we ever met. He always asked me "How's your sister", but who he meant was my Aunt Karen, whom he attended school with. He would ask me everytime I ran into him somewhere and we would laugh. He knew I was related to Karen, just always thought she was my sister because we were close of age.
To Dick Jenkins: Sorry for your loss, your brother was a really nice guy.

THE FIRST TIME I MET RED WAS AT DUNKIN DONUTS IN THE EARLY 70'S. I'LL NEVER FORGET THAT "LUMBER JACK" IMAGE. HE WALKED THRU THE DOOR PROUD AND TALL WEARING A KNIT CAP, RED CHECKERED FLANNEL SHIRT, JEANS AND WORK BOOTS. HE MADE A BIG IMPRESSION ON ME, BOTH AS A MAN AND AS A FRIEND. THERE WERE MANY MORE TIMES WE WOULD SEE EACH OTHER THRU THE YEARS. EACH TIME HE WOULD TREAT ME LIKE HIS BEST FRIEND. THE LAST TIME I SAW HIM WAS A COUPLE MONTHS AGO AT HANDELS ICE CREAM, DISPITE ALL HE HAD BEEN THRU...

I will never forget Red Jenkins, He was without a doubt one of the greatest men i have been lucky enough to know in my entire life. My heart goes out to his enitre family and especially Danny and David, two guys that i am proud to call my friends. Red will forever live on in the two of you.

With much love,
Tim Worley

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Ive known Red ever since I can remember. WE both grew up in the same neighborhood. I attended Catholic schools for ten years, then transfered to Falls in my Junior year.
Even though i had 10 years of religious education, I had to start going to CCD at St Joe's.
When I walked into the classroom, I was suprised to see Red there. I figured that Red and I would laugh and joke and mess with the teacher.
What I saw was a part of Red that I had never seen before or imagined.
Red was very...
