Robert Barber Obituary
(cont. from previous column)
Their deep love and commitment to each other was evident to everyone who knew them.

Bob's generous service, tireless work ethic, love of life, enthusiasm, and infectious smile will be sorely missed by family, friends, colleagues, and the community at large.
In lieu of flowers and according to Bob's wishes, the family requests donations be made to the Rotary Foundation, (www.rotary.org) or University of New Mexico Foundation (www.unmfund.org).
Funeral arrangements are in the care of Hankins & Whittington Funeral Service. Funeral services will be today, Wednesday, April 27th, at First Presbyterian Church, 200 West Trade Street, Charlotte, NC 28202, at 2 p.m. Graveside services to follow.
