We are so sorry to read of Robert's passing. I loved every moment spent with you both at rallies and at the shop having our helmets fitted and adjusted. Robert was a master at solving sound problems and making a perfect adjustment. Just sitting in the shop while he worked and told Stories Brought smiles to Our faces and always made our Visits home to Murray memorable. Love and prayers.

Reda, I am so sorry to hear of Robert's passing. I have such great memories of our time together on the road at the motorcycle rallies and the time Bill (Herrmann) and I visited your home for what you said would be fried bologna only to be met with a full spread of food including steak! You and Robert hold a special place in my heart. The world lost Bill last year and now it has lost another wonderful man. Stay strong. May God's love comfort you and bless you.

Reda, please know our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family at this time. You and Robert had more smiles and miles than anyone I know. Your visits were always full of good times and great stories. Though over 50 years ago, I'll never forget you and Robert chasing Randy's mice that escaped in the garage. If your ever in the area you know our door is always open.

Robert you were always so much fun to be with! I enjoyed listening to you and mom telling stories of your days as kids. The last time I saw you was at Ginny Glenn's funeral 6 years ago but no matter how much time passed, when we'd get together it was as if no time had passed. That's what was so great about the Overby side of our family! I didn't know you were a great grandpa. It wonderful you got to see them. I can't picture you without Reta and a motorcycle. I know Reta's heart is broken. Praying God will comfort all of your family as only He can and give them the faith and strength to go on. You and Reta will always be in my heart.

I had the great pleasure meeting Robert over a year ago when he was wanting to sell some of his prized motorcycle parts and bikes. During our many phone conversations and meeting in person for hours (he never liked to talk) he always talked about his Wife Reba and his 3 kids. He was so proud of his Daughter and 2 boys. I think I can tell every story about ever motorcycle racer he was ever associated with. His wife kids and motorcycle were his loves in life and you could tell every time he spoke about
them.
Whenever I hung up the phone or left from his shop I would always stop and thinking about how important family is to success in life because Robert showed me the love he had for his family and aloud me see the success he had in life.
May God Bless this family and May they always know how much there husband and father loved them!!!

Much love, admiration and gratitude for the laughs, love and support from Robert and Reda over the years. Robert was the sweetest soul with the kindest, most generous heart. His work ethic and integrity were only surpassed by his energy, quit wit and great memory for details. This go-getter will be sorely missed!
