I am filled with sadness to learn of Robert´s passing. Robert and I were students at Robert E Lee High School in Montgomery AL and cadets in the ROTC program. He was an honorable, dutiful and respectful young man whose memory I shall forever treasure. To his family may the Lord continue to grant you His peace.
Blessings,
LCJ

My thoughts and prayers go out to Robert's wonderful family. He loved all of you very much. Robert shared many things with me the few years that we were married and I learned a lot. He was an admirable man and one of the best funeral directors that I have met. He went the extra mile for the surviving families, always. I was very, proud of the type of funeral director he had become and was happy to help him finish his degree in Funerary Science. He was also a great, military man and he exemplifies the price that our military members unselfishly give for this country's freedom. I was proud to be married to him for the brief time that I was.
Sincerely,
Nancy Marsh Raleigh, North Carolina

I worked with Robert during my active duty days at Peterson AFB. In 1999 I was the NCOIC of the High Frontier Honor Guard and he was my assistant. We performed many funeral honors in the local area and also at Fort Logan in Denver. We also provided Color Guard duties for VIP's and distinguished visitors at Peterson and Schriever AFB.
I enjoyed working with him both professionally and in our personal lives. It saddens me to know he has passed. Robert, you are missed my friend.
