Robert was a kind soul.
If you were his friend he loved you very much . He loves his family very much too.
Robert would help anyone at anytime ...he was there for people emotionally and his friends would lean on him in time of need and he was always there for them when they needed him.. even when he was very ill.
Robert never complained one time about being sick with cancer... as a matter fact his words constantly to all of us
Dont let anybody or anything ever steal your Happiness

Boogie, I'm so sad that you're gone, but I am glad you're at peace. I will say my good-byes through prayer, until I am able to come in town. I'm caregiver to my Mama in Oklahoma and can't get away. Just know that you have always had a special place in my heart and you always will !! Always--Tina Whitaker Shelton
