Every fall I looked forward to renewing our friendship at the Wigwam and spending time hearing about the past summer's golf experiences. Bob was a gentleman at all times, a friend to everyone, and someone I will always fondly remember and miss dearly.

Dearest Mary and Family,

How we shall miss our dear friend, high school and Texas A & M University classmate! Robert was affectionately known as "Buzz". We have been blessed to enjoy a long-standing friendship! What would we do without our fond memories? We shall cherish them always! Buzz was one of our Groomsmen in our wedding sixty-two years ago this coming December 21! We are so thankful that he did not have to suffer . Our prayers are for peace and comfort. God is so awesome!

Most sincerely with affection,

T. P. and Burnette Boyett
