The state of SC has lost one of its greatest champions, Robert, Sam, what an awesome man your Dad was! I hadn't seen him in a while but I always will remember him as a kind and down to earth person who was very concerned for the well-being of others. I feel that this is a wonderful legacy he has left with you! May your family have God's peace in knowing that your Dad lived a blessed life and will be missed by many!

I have fond memories of Senator Lake when I worked for the South Carolina Education Association. He was a champion of public education.
I am sure he is at peace. May God bless his soul.

Bob Lake was indeed a true lifetime "public servant" in the finest meaning of the phrase! South Carolina is a better place because of his service! Our thoughts and prayers are with the family in this time of your loss!
