Robert was a good man. Betty, he was fortunate to have you, a good woman. I will always value the time I spent with him. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Mrs. Betty, I am so sorry to hear about Robert. He was such a sweet person. He stopped by here at work not long ago, and as always he asked about my family and gave me a hug. I will be thinking of you in the days & weeks ahead. If I can help you in any way, please let me know.

ALong, long ago, Robert was a neighbor in the Owens Community north of Kingstree. Time, distance and circumstances prevented contacts in adulthood, but I have vivid memories of Robert as a young boy. He was a good person even way back then. My deepest sympathy and sincerest condolences to his family. David “A” Barrineau, San Antonio, (deep in the heart of) Texas.
