I knew Robert for many years. I served both part-time and full-time in the South Carolina Army National Guard.
Robert was a true gentleman and great to work with. He will be deeply missed. I'll never drive past the old armory without thinking of him.
May God bless and comfort his family and friends

My Thoughts and Prayers go out to the entire Cope Family. Robert and I both served The South Carolina Army National Guard. We had some great times and stories together. I worked in Newberry as a Technician while Robert worked in Ridgeland.
May God Bless All of You.
