Dear Family, Geneva and I were deeply saddened hearing of Robert's departure. He was one fine man who did us many favors as his minister for some twenty years. It was a joy to be in Rotary with him. We have fond memories of seeing him in Belk's. He always had a smile and was firm in wanting everyone treated fairly. His interest in the music of First Presbyterian Church was deeply appreciated. The first Sunday Bill Kutz was there, he came out and said to me, "He got the dust off those pipes this morning." He and his family were loyal supporters of my family and me during our years as minister of First Presbyterian. You are in our prayers. Bob and Geneva Pettit
