My husband and I extend our deepest sympathy to the family. Bob was such a story teller and I will never forget his testimony when being tracked by a bear while hiking by himself and how this experience brought him face to face with the Lord ! We loved him and will miss him.

Bob, Greenville Baptist Church, Rochdale, Pleasant & River St. will not be the same without you. You were one of the nicest guys we have ever met. We can still hear you singing...Some glad morning when this life is o'er,
I'll fly away.
To that home on God's celestial shore,
I'll fly away.
I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away.
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away.
Just a few more weary days and then,
I'll fly away.
To that land where joy will never end,
I'll fly away.
I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away.
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away.
Oh I'll fly away, oh glory, I'll fly away in the morning
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away.
