I have such wonderful memories of growing up and getting visited by Aunt Nina, R.T. & Louise. Then My Mom (Kay), Granny (Onieta), Cousin Ann & I took a Long bus ride to Spend Time with Them in Phoenix. That was a Big summer for me! I Loved Them So Dearly! I tried to keep in touch even after all the loss of family ~here in TN and Arizona ~. I know it's late but, My heart still goes out to you! Ever Faithful With Love for The Lord and Family, I Looked Up To Them For Guidance in my own life.   Along with wishful thoughts of having all the beautiful talents they were blessed with. I was Blessed To Have them in My Life! Remember how blessed you were to have them in your lives for so long.  Not all of us are so lucky. God Bless Each of You.

We have many wonderful memories of time spent with Uncle RT and family.  It was always such fun to hear him and Uncle Fred and Daddy sing and play the musical instruments they were so talented in playing.  It was also amazing to listen to them talk about their travels and all the trips they made and planned to make.  This last journey is one that Uncle RT was well prepared for.  Cherish your many wonderful memories for a life so well-lived. 

     We always enjoyed our visits with RT recalling family personalities and events.  He and Louise were our connection to earlier times in Kentucky and Tennessee and we will miss that.  Many of his generation have passed and I know he will enjoy the happy reunion.

We have known Robert and his wife Louise for 36 Years.  It was always a blessing to visit them.  Louise left this earth a few yrs ago.  We know that Robert is now in heaven, happy and well and also hearing!!!!

Our sympathy to all the family in the passing of my Uncle R.T. Our family enjoyed many happy times together throughout the decades. The motel in Florida was always great fun for us as kids. Having the family visit us in Tennessee was always great as well. Knowing how much my Dad enjoyed being with his brother was priceless. RT was blessed to be surrounded by loving family all his life, and we were blessed by him.
