Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry that I am just hearing this news. Bob purchased advertising from me many times over the years, and I enjoyed our conversations. He was one of my favorite stops. My condolences to the family. Kathy Talmage

It was an honor to have known Mr. Wiatt although it was a short time. He was a great man and we all will miss his humor and smile. I cared for him and enjoyed our conversations.
I hope you are looking down on us all and smiling. God bless you Mr Wiatt!

Robin, so very sorry to hear this news.
I had always thought that in retirement I would get to visit his store but waited too long...I did get to see him a few years ago at Eleanor's (my aunt).
I did not see him often but it was always a treat. He was nice even as a young boy and I enjoyed him and his parents as some of my special memories.
I especially remember his happiness about his marriage and how much he loved you.
If there is ever anything I can do let me...

Peaks, Ryans and Wiatt's - Thanksgiving 2017

I was so fortunate to meet Mr. Wiatt through my brother Paul and his wife Rachel Smith. I sincerely felt as though I had been blessed meeting a man defining the " True Country Gentlemen". Several times, I was Blessed to visit his store, and I reveled in his wealth of knowledge and history which he seemed so happy to share about his items. I will cherish my items purchased and will remember him fondly. We have all lost a true gift of a very special man and I extend my condolences to his family.

The world has lost a very, kind and gentle human being. The first time I met him we became friends. Bob, I will miss you very much and think of you often. This picture captures my very good friend! His knowledge of the world of antiques was legendary. Rest well, my friend.

Very sorry to learn about Bob's passing. He and I worked together at the NN Shipyard for a number of years. You have my deepest sympathy for your loss and I am thinking of your family during this sad time.

Very sorry for the lost of your loved one May God the hearer of prayers comfort you during this difficult time and give you strength. 2 cor. 1:4
