Hello my dear friend. You and your Family are in my thoughts and prayers. Love you. SUSU Fitz

Bob was instrumental in recruiting me to the Methodist Church in 2012. We enjoyed a lot of walks and talks about concerts we had attended over the years. I will miss my Facebook friend and just know that he is happy and restored in heaven. God bless Becky and the entire Roach family!

Becky I have such loving and joyful memories of the years that Bob and you were here with us at NLUMC. We were truly blessed Prayers for you and the rest of your family and close friends. What a beautiful promise of being together again one day.

Dear Becky and Family, We are so sorry for your loss. Bob was a wonderful pastor and a dear man. We thought so much of him and your family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Becky. My brother was Ralph Hill. Bob and Ralph shared happy years in Carolina's marching band and we're close friends ever after. Bob was a special man and was so kind to our family when Ralph died. Bob performed the graveside service and related several stories of the good times they shared. I'm currently in Florida and won't be able to attend Bob's memorial service. Please know that my prayers are with you and the family, along with many smiles as I recall his friendship with...

Dear Becky and family, My prayers are with you and yours. Bob was a wonderful pastor and a great friend. Love you very much, Jane Edwards Crenshaw

I remember Bob well from college. He was a fine friend. He made no secret of his desire to be a minister, but he was never self-righteous or condescending. I never had the honor to attend a service at which he officiated, but I'm sure he handled his ministerial duties with dignity, compassion, common sense, and with exactly the right touch of humor.
