Robert Palmatier

Good by dad. I loved you so much . RIP.

Robert Palmatier was my husband's (Duncan's) uncle. I met him only once in person, although we corresponded a few times. He stays in my memory as a gentle, kind, erudite man, a keen observer of the world, with a quirky sense of humor. (My husband and I are both lawyers, and for our wedding he gave us each engraved gavels.) His study was full of books and papers, and his brain was an endless repository of information about etymologies and colloquial phrases. His brother Malcolm, my father...

Thinking of you, Mary and Sararetha, we will keep you in our prayers.

Knowing and having you in my life has been a blessing - there are many things that you've taught me that I'll retain for the rest of my life. Above all things you made my Grandmother - Your "Sweetie" the happiest woman on earth - which that alone made us all happy! You will always be remembered as a man of great character, knowledge and a heart that saw no inpurities!

Love,

Tiffany (Grand-daughter), Ya'Aime and Heaven (Great-Grand daughters)

P.S. I wonder if...

Thank you dad for being such a man of integrity and truth. You had such a passion for reading and with that knowledge you spoke from the heart regarding inequality in society. Your writing and books you created were superb. You encouraged me to write again and always pushed me to do my best. You took time to proof and edit my first work which was such an honor for me. Thanks for always leading by example and loving us in such a special way. I love you but God loved you more.

Sweet...

Thank you Dad, Grandpa, and Great Grandpa for being the person you were. As a mentor, friend, provider, teacher, author, golfer, humorist, and a sterling example of love for your fellow man. You appreciated everyone around you and made everyone feel they were welcome and they too were appreciated. God Bless you, and you will be forever in our hearts. Thank you for your gifts to us, until we meet again. The Family
