I was very sorry to learn of Robert's passing. Like many others, I had the opportunity to work with and learn from him at Virginia Power. His strong character and work ethic set a great example for all of us. He will be greatly missed. The Sharpe family will be in our prayers.

Uncle Fair, The only comfort is knowing your pain is gone, you are in a better place, and that we have our memories. Aunt Sue was your earthly angel but now you have a host of heavenly angels. You will live in our hearts as we remember you lovingly. For me it will be roller skating with you and picnics by our pool. Love. Niece Martha Cox Small and family.

Dear Sharpe Family,
I am saddened to read of Mr. Sharpe's passing. I worked at Virginia Power many years ago in the transmission dept. and came to know him very well. He was a very kind man. I also knew his brother Bill. They were both very good men. I am lucky to have been able to know both of them. Please know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
