Robert B. Preston Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Apr. 28, 2024.
With great sadness, I write of the sudden passing of my beloved Bob, known to some of his friends as Dredd. His untimely death was on October 31, 2023. Forever in my heart, he shall be immensely missed. Born on April 29, 1964, he was the sixth generation to carry the name Robert Burt. He grew up in Falls Church and Annandale, Virginia. At the time of his passing, he was living in Richmond, Virginia. He was preceded in death by his mother, Carol Preston of Annandale, Virginia, and his father, John Preston of Whitby ,North Yorkshire, England. His surviving family members are his uncle Robert B. Groundwater, his aunt Sue Groundwater, and his cousins Suesan and Stephen. Bob will be remembered fondly for many things, especially his kindness, thoughtfulness, and sense of humor. May he find peace as he joins his parents and grandparents now. Donations in memory of Bob can be sent to your local S.P.C.A.

I can't believe it's been a year :(
Our favorite season isn't the same without you here to share it with me. The sadness in my heart still ever present. Yet in the spirit of Halloween time I feel you close by. So, I will light another candle for you- one of the ones you gave me

Dear Bob, Though you have passed you are in my heart and in my memories always. Your humour, kindness and thoughtfulness were such wonderful qualities that made you a really fine man. I'll miss our talks and laughs and exchanging kitty cat stories. I love you. Bunny

Dear Bob, I can't say that I knew you very well; in fact you really only visited me on three occasions. Yet each time you'd left, I took away a sense of someone sweet, kind and thoughtful. Someone easy to hang out with interesting conversation, and a keen mind. I would have liked to have gotten to know you better...

I miss binge-watching the History Channel and laughing about pretty much anything we could think of. Life's just not the same without you.
