Dear Martha and Nancy and All Family,
Sorry to be so late in learning of Bob's passing. We all have warm memories of a wonderfully eager-to-help neighbor no matter what the situation /challenge was. I personally was the recipient of many patient and pleasant rides back and forth from good ol' Burbank Drive to UNO for classes. We wish for you all comfort in fond memories and in the warm love of family.

Dr. Little was the most kindhearted person. It touched my heart the first time I made rounds with him and he asked all the patients if he can pray for them. He was taken aback when one patient said no, I'll pray for you. He was so tickled and the prayer was so genuine
He was wonderful to work with and for and he will be missed. He passed during my assignment in NM, so my condolences to his family, friends, his church family, and coworkers. May God protect your hearts and minds at this difficult time.

Bob was a great friend and I served at Mercy Ships with him and David and Paul. He was an amazingly gifted man and served Christ in those months with his whole heart! ... in medicine, in singing and harmonica, and in just reaching out and serving as he could. He loved his family and people, and gave himself toward them. He's with Jesus now getting his heavenly rewards, but we all will miss him. I'm thankful for the time I had with him, albeit short, enjoying his companionship and talking together about the Lord. I am in prayers for all the family at this time.

Deeply saddened to hear of Dr Little´s passing. He was beyond special to the rehab team at Trinity Neurologic Rehab. He not only took exceptional care of people, but he took care of us-his longtime rehab buddies. He prayed with us, mentored us, & offered his help to us even outside of work. He boasted about his family, his missions, & his heart for wellness. Praying he´s living so large on the other side & I can´t wait to give him a big hug when I see him again! Love to the family. Peace & blessings... Sara McMichael

Bro. Bob, as he was known by a lot of us at Irish Channel Christian Fellowship, was a father to many of the youth. We were blessed to have him in our lives. We were blessed to receive amazing wisdom and guidance from him. He taught us how to constantly seek scripture when making decisions. I am grateful for the time I had him in my life.

I worked with Dr Little at Trinity Neurological & Rebab Center. He displayed a genuine interest in his patients. He also shared a spiritual realm with staff & patients providing a holistic environment in caring for all those he encountered along his journey. May God welcome him with open arms.

I´m so honored to have been taught a Bible study by Dr.Little. He was so patient, kind and so incredibly knowledgeable. I know everyone will miss him. I feel blessed to have known him. Truly Dr.Little heard "well done my faithful servant" when he stepped into eternity with our Lord and Savior.

Dr Little will be remembered as kind, righteous, honorable, and generous. A man who gave of his time and energy to help the people in Louisiana, specifically the children and education. We are so grateful to have known him, and honored to work with him. He was a light shining in a world of darkness. God bless Dr Little and his family. May he rest in peace with Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Watch over Louisiana from heaven, Dr Little! You will be missed!

A very patient and kind man. A wonderful bible teacher and a doctor who went the extra mile for his patients. The world has lost a bright light.
