Prayers up! To Mrs. C, thank you for being one of the many "moms" that a bunch of knucklehead guys had during our youth. Thanks also for allowing the rest of the world to share your Mr. C, and get to witness his faith, wisdom, guidance, and love of his Savior. Many of the lessons he taught in Sunday School are still etched in my mind. We will all be united again in Heaven sooner than later! Love ya'll

Bob, I'm sorry for your loss. I read of your dad's death in the paper this morning. I know you were very close to him, and that this will be a difficult adjustment, especially for you and your mom. I think you will remember me, we worked together at The Union Pacific Railroad in Little Rock, until I became disabled in a motorcycle accident and never got to go back to work. God Bless you and your family as you grieve the absence of your dad!!
Sincerely,
Mark & Deanna Fell (Clinton, AR)

Berneil and Bobby, my thoughts and prayers to you and your family on your loss. I will always have great love and respect for the man, who so many years ago taught me how to determine the front end of a locomotive. Bob always took time to ensure the next generation understood the processes of work and life, and he did so while walking with his faith. I will always be grateful for his life and the opportunity to call him my friend.

Mrs Clawson, Joyce, Bobby and family, my heart hurts for you as you say goodbye to your husband and father as well as other family and dear friends that knew and loved him too. I knew him as Bob and daddy mostly and had the privilege of knowing him more in the last years. He lived a wonderful example of a Christian Head of the House. He loved his Saviour and his family. He has now gone on to be with God in Heaven and we rejoice in that but feel the loss of a dear man. May God give you all comfort and peace as you say goodbye the last time.
Love and prayers,
Donna & Joe McKnight
