I remember meeting Robert and his wife at the healthcare center in Mount Pleasant. Such a lovely couple. While my dad was in there it was nice to see and visit with him. Never forgotten! May God continue to bless your family with the memories you made during your life. Fondly remembered Donna Enyart, Charles Baldwin’s daughter.

Sorry to hear of Mr. Taines passing. My father worked for the Moravys and used to sit in the old Ben Traines building and I still have one of their small measuring tapes they used for advertising. May he rest in peace - Karen Olger Pflaumer

Hello Rose, my sister, Terrie, called me this morning, after talking to Mom. We were told that that you lost your beloved husband. I have been very sad since hearing that. It is amazing how 'connected' you become, sitting around a dinner table for a few short weeks. We were blessed for the opportunity to become acquainted with the two of you. We had to laugh when we heard that Bob and Lyle told Dad one morning...you better eat cuz you know your wife will be coming in and asking what you ate. :-) Bob was a quiet man but a gentle giant. Your life together must have been quite an adventure. Now, we are sorry to say, you will have carry on with the memories of one extraordinary life, together. Please know that you and your family are in our hearts and prayers. We will miss seeing you at the facility, but know you must continue to carry on. Work on your sculptures knowing Bob would be there encouraging you along the way. God bless you, beautiful LADY. WE will never forget you, two. Love and prayers - The family of Charles Baldwin (Pat, Donna, Terrie/Terry, Randy/Deb...)
