Not sure what to say?

Great man first met him in 80's my new Goldwing sound system was by him loved the stories he told us. Miss him

Reda and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. May God guide you through these difficult days.

We are so sorry to read of Robert's passing. I loved every moment spent with you both at rallies and at the shop having our helmets fitted and adjusted. Robert was a master at solving sound problems and making a perfect adjustment. Just sitting in the shop while he worked and told Stories Brought smiles to Our faces and always made our Visits home to Murray memorable. Love and prayers.

Reda, I am so sorry to hear of Robert's passing. I have such great memories of our time together on the road at the motorcycle rallies and the time Bill (Herrmann) and I visited your home for what you said would be fried bologna only to be met with a full spread of food including steak! You and Robert hold a special place in my heart. The world lost Bill last year and now it has lost another wonderful man. Stay strong. May God's love comfort you and bless you.

Reda, please know our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family at this time. You and Robert had more smiles and miles than anyone I know. Your visits were always full of good times and great stories. Though over 50 years ago, I'll never forget you and Robert chasing Randy's mice that escaped in the garage. If your ever in the area you know our door is always open.

R I P Robert, Condolences to family.

Robert you were always so much fun to be with! I enjoyed listening to you and mom telling stories of your days as kids. The last time I saw you was at Ginny Glenn's funeral 6 years ago but no matter how much time passed, when we'd get together it was as if no time had passed. That's what was so great about the Overby side of our family! I didn't know you were a great grandpa. It wonderful you got to see them. I can't picture you without Reta and a motorcycle. I know Reta's heart is broken....

So very sorry to hear about Robert. My thoughts and prayers go out to Reda, Tammy, Keith and Darrell as well as the rest of the family.

We are so sorry to hear of Robert's passing. Prayers for the entire family. Our deepest sympathy for all.
