To Those Touched By Robert's Life,
I remember Robert in the halls of Smithfield High and in my father's class room as one of the leading cadets of JROTC. He was well mannered and always had something good to share. May the Lord comfort you in the days ahead. You all are in my prayers.

To Robert's Family & Friends:
I was saddened to learn of Robert's passing. My husband, Don Carter, was his JROTC instructor at Smithfield High School. I recall that Don spoke with high regard in reference to Robert and noted that he had a bright future with much potential at VMI. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
