To The Reed Family,

May God's grace and peace be with you always.
I was saddened to hear of the passing of Robert and thankful that I had the pleasure of knowing him. Robert and I worked together at Tysinger Motor Co. for many years. Robert had a great heart. He really cared for those who were less fortunate than himself. Anytime that Robert heard that one of his coworkers were down on their luck or had experienced a recent death in their family, he would be the employee that would inform his coworkers and ask us to contribute something to help them. I remember seeing him at work and informed him that my mother in-law had passed unexpectedly. I came back to work several days later and was given a card with some money in it. As I was wiping the tears from my eyes, one of my coworkers said that Robert had informed everyone and spearheaded the donations. She said that she was surprised that Robert Reed initiated the collection. I told her that I wasn't, that's Robert. I am thankful to have known him and worked with him. Remember that God will keep you in perfect peace.
