Memories and Condolences
for Robert Charlton
September 18, 2013
I just found out today that my friend and neighbor Bob passed away. I moved over a year ago and spoke to him a couple of times on the phone since. The last time was this Spring. He and I walked together many days and my dog Annie loved him. He came to a Halloween party at my house and had a great time and looked great. I shall miss my old friend. My condolences to his family. Jeni

Mr. Charlton was a gentleman. He was rough around the edges but had the greatest heart. He was a hard worker and loved his family and country. I have known him since Mohawk and we continued to keep in touch. I'm sorry we didn't see each other recently. Rest in peace with Norma, Mr. Charlton.

I worked and played with Bob for many years.
He and Norma treated me like a member of their family.

Bob hired me out of college at Mohawk in 1972. Helped me get the Pant Accountant job in W. Helena Arkansas in 1976. Have nothing but good memories and respect for the man who gave me my start in business. I really enjoyed working for him.
