I am so sorry to hear this, I spent many a good times at Murray and Disey's house on the Prairie. I considered Rob my best Childhood friend For one reason or another I had lost touch with Rob. I always thought that I had time to get back in touch, but I didn't. So to the family, Donna and the boys "I'm so sorry to hear about Rob!"

My husband had the pleasure of working with Robert and becoming good friends with him. I only got to meet Robert once, he spent last Christmas Day with us at our home in Floresville, Texas. It was very nice having him over that day. I had heard many a stories about him. He was such a sweet man. He told my husband that he liked my buttermilk pies so I made him some on Christmas Day; he seemed to really enjoy them. He even brought our granddaughters horse pears to eat. Robert is missed dearly by my husband Steve. We know Robert is in a better place now but his memories will always be in our hearts. Miss you my friend, Steve and Marilyn King.

Robert was a loving, caring stepfather to my niece and nephew. I was always thankful for that.

When I think of Rob I think about his beautiful eyes , his long eyelashes and his smile. I have so many memories of him in high school. The last time I saw him he had on his hat and I told him he was still as good looking as he was 50 years ago. So sorry he is gone.. Rita Means Alford

I was named after uncle Rob (and that’s a whole other funny story). He was dashing and handsome in the vein of James Dean, Elvis, and Paul Newman, before I even understood the import of those personalities. When I was at one of the lowest points in my life he (along with my aunt Vada) visited me and cared for me. I’m sure he didn’t realize it and if he were here now he would disabuse me of the notion: but he was a little bit of Jesus in my life at the time. I was sick and he cared for me; I was a stranger and he took me in. But that was just like him. He did not care for accolades, just did what needed to be done. He was not a rich man, but he certainly made my life richer. One of the last times I spoke with him at length, we spent about 3 hours pondering the meaning of life in his RV in Batson TX. During that time he shared with me the songs and sentiments he wanted for his funeral. That was about 3 years ago, and I found it an odd subject at the time. Now I know why, and I’m thankful. Godspeed, Uncle Rob. - Your namesake, Robin
