Robert was a friend of my brother's during their school days. I knew him then and through the years as a member of Shiloh. A really nice and friendly person. I pray the thoughts and memories will continue to bring comfort. Just remember good deeds bring rewards from our Heavenly Father. He was a fine Christian Gentleman. May he rest in everlasting peace. God Bless you all.
