Dr. Mann was my doctor. He had the best personality. You felt like a million dollars when he doctored on you. I miss you Dr. Robert G. Mann. Always thought you looked like JFK. Hope I do good to others so I may again see you in heaven cause I know for a fact you are in heaven. Such a kind doctor. From Sunshine.

I was looking for someone and happened to see Dr. Mann's obituary. I remember him from growing up in Easley. He would make house calls when someone in my family was sick. He was really wonderful to my mom. She was very sick most of her adult life and had to see him or Dr. White often. When he moved to Greenville my dad and I would see him there when we needed a doctor's care. My mom has passed away by this time. He was one of the best doctors ever! Prayers for his family.

Judy, so sad to read of Dr. Mann's passing. He was our family doctor for a long time. I too lost my loving husband, age 89, just this year. While we realize it is their time we hate to give them up in our lives. I know that you brought such joy to him all through your married time. My heartfelt sympathy to you.

Judy and Family,we would like to express to you how sad we were to hear about the passing of Dr.Mann. He was more than just a good neighbor to us. When we bought our land from his Mom and Dad we came to know the Mann's as our close friends who we could count on for help. If we were sick Dr.Mann was never too busy to come to our house in times of sickness. He diagnosed my husband with cancer and saved his life with the early diagnosis. We always enjoyed hearing his tales of the old days when he helped with the family farm. Most of all we will miss him passing by our house and always waving to us.

So sorry to hear. From a pharmaceutical rep, he was by far the nicest, kindest physician around. He absolutely loved his patients and always had a positive outlook. A true gentleman through and through.
