Robert Allison Rives

I was so lucky to spend time with Bob.. first when he was visiting Brookdale and Long Leaf for short periods of time, and then oneonta when he moved to an assisted living to be near his daughter Bugsy.. I would bring Bob home made treats.. he loved my chocolate pumpkin muffins... I told him to be careful to just eat one at a time because I knew he was diabetic, but I also knew he was 92 and he should be able to enjoy a sweet treat! We would often discuss Israel and US politics, as we were...

Bob was a wonderful man. So blessed to have him as a family member. He would always tell me what God wanted me to do in any situation I encountered. We became friends and I loved and had great respect for him. He was patient and I always enjoyed hearing the stories he had to tell. He was a wonderful family man and adored his children and grandchildren. I have been blessed to have known him.
