Robert was one of a special person who made Hendrix a special place for students, faculty and staff. I suspect he made a positive impact wherever he was. So sorry for the pain he suffered and now for the pain the family is suffering with his loss. But, he brought happiness to many he served so well. I am sorry to have been out of town and unaware of his death.
My condolences to his family and friends.
Such a great person at school.
There is no words that can take away my family's pain . All I can say is I'm praying for us all , and Robert and Beverly are walking on the streets in heaven with Uncle Ervin , Aunt Florene , Grandma and Grandpa Sturgeon and Gran and Papaw Black .

Thea and I have gentle memories of conversations with Robert at both Hendrix and First United Methodist Church. He was a careful, thorough worker, easy to talk to. Our condolences to his family.
Robert was a good friend to me. He was a kind person with a huge heart. He took great pride in his family and his work. I will miss him so much.
REST IN THE ARMS OF GOD BROTHER. No more pain no more sorrow with our Lord Jesus.
So sorry for your loss
Robert was such a kind, gentle soul. It was a pleasure to work with him at Hendrix and to share conversation.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family. May your memories comfort you.
