Robert I think of you whenever I attend a Square dance.  From listening to the music and the callers  to dancing with the people.  You left us to soon.

It doesn't seem like it has been 2 years since Robert left us.  I still miss his thoughtful talks about everything from Electricity to Cats.  He is looking down on us,  from the great Square Dance in Heaven. 

Robert was my brother in Christ Jesus. I was a recruiter in the same building with him. We worked together for one yr and became close as brothers. He was my only true friend. He would text me all week about 5am just to wish me a good day. And I would text him right back and wish him Happy Trails. We both grew up with Roy Rogers. I will miss him immensely but I know he is with the Lord along with Roy Rogers. Happy Trails my dear brother and my prayers to his daughter and family. 

Robert was a dear friend, and mentor, for many years  He knew my wife Marie before.  There's always there to help in square dancing, Electric problem and After my wife died he gave me a shoulder to cry on. A true man of God Has now joined the angelsin heaven.  My thoughts and prayers are with the family. 

I had Mr.P aka Skip while I was enrolled at Tulsa welding school in 2016-2017 . He was nothing short of the best instructor I have ever had. He went above and beyond for us ! We remained in contact even after I graduated from Tulsa and left to Vegas. We would text each other weekly. Gonna miss you Skip and every Roy Rogers quotes you have taught us! I will leave this with what Roy Rogers said “Until we meet again, may the good Lord take a liking to you” Until we meet again Skip! 

Mr P was a mentor to many at Tulsa. I met him and quickly bonded due to our love for education. Our professional lives was transformed into a wonderful friendship. We continue to see each other for lunch occasionally and laughed at our successes, failures, and lives. I am proud to have known him and had the brief time in my life to call him my friend and brother. He will always stay with me and I know I can count on him to lift my spirit. We had texted everyday for over a year and I do miss those Good Morning Robert, have a blessed day. I shall see you again my brother. Thoughts and Prayers to your family. Love you Mr P.

Robert and I worked together at Tulsa Welding School (EMT) first as a fellow instructor, then later as lead instructors.  We shared some wins and some losses.  We often had good discussions, because he was so much a communicator and never had any doubt of his stance on subjects he truly believed. I will miss those talks and comradery.  He was meticulous and paid strict attention to details,   partly due to the electrical trade and his life-changing experiences, which made him a  better man, father, grandfather, and friend as he matured and strived to restore himself in his later years. He will be missed by all that knew him well. My prayer is that I hope I was as good a friend to him as he was to me. My condolences go out to his family and friends. May God bless and keep you is our prayer.  Write, Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea saith the Spirit that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them. Rev. 14:13

Robert and I worked together at Tulsa Welding School from 2014 to 2018. He was a thoughtful man that would go the extra mile for his students and the staff; he considered us his family. I am a better man for having had a chance to know him. My condolences go out to his family and friends. You will be missed!
