To the family of Robert Plump: this man has left many good memories for all us to share, but of course, it had sadden me to receive the news. The one thing that I will always remember about Robert, was his smile. I don't know if he thought that I was funny or funny looking, but whenever I would see him...he was always smiling. During my lunch-time today, I went home to view some old photo's of us together, it touched my heart in many ways. Plump was one of the best on the wrestling team, I know that for sure, because he would use me like his practice dummy. I had two team photo's: track & wrestling. Dated: 13 May 1975 Harrison School. I wish everyone the best, and for one reason or another...I have reasons to believe that Robert is smiling down on all of us.
