Bob was an old friend of my husband, Jeff Shields. Jeff took his old job at Robins AFB & they served on the same VITAB committee. Jeanne & I exchanged Christmas cards & updates on our families until her death. Please accept my sincere condolences on the death of your Dad. He was a great guy.
Karen,
We have such special memories of your dad and mother too. They were such good neighbors and friends to us over 30 years, always willing to help us and always very supportive when needed. We've felt like family through the years with the McDonalds right across the street, with you and Len and Robby and Allyson. I pray you and your sisters will continue to share in your special memories that will live on forever. Since God is everywhere, may you and your family feel that He's as close to you as a gentle hug.
Love,
Wade and Donna Williams

Cindy, Karen & Melanie - Though I never met your father, one thing about growing up in Perry is you can feel as if you do know someone by 'proxy'. When I learned your dad was playing in a band in his 80's...I became a fan!
No doubt he will be sorely missed and my prayers are for the Lord's healing comfort and grace during this time.
Melanie, I am so very sorry about your sweet Daddy… he was a good man! Many prayers for you and your family…. God bless….
Love you… Cindy (Jane) Collier
We know words can’t take away the hurt you’re feeling, but we want you to know how much we care. Sending you and your family love and strength in this time of loss.
I think my favorite memory of Mr. Bob is the night Mel and I decided to "borrow" his pride and joy (at the time), THE THING. Neither of us had a license to drive and I certainly didn't know how to drive a stick shift. Mel was on the floor working the clutch while I tried to shift the gears with the stick. We did make it to our destination - Ochlahatchee. It's a miracle we got there and back without any damage done to the car, innocent bystanders or ourselves. I don't know that Mr. Bob ever knew about our escapade.
Mel, Karen and Cindy, please accept our heartfelt condolences. Your parents loved you girls so very much. All of you brought them such joy and pride. Sending love, peaceful and healing energy as you mourn the loss of your precious Dad. We are so very sorry for your loss.
