Donnie and family, deepest sympathy to all. All this time I never knew that your step-dad was Robert. I went to school with him. I always called him “Bunny”. So very sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace. Love, Jeanie

Little Robert Hill, You will be missed. Robert grew up around here with my boys and spent lots of time at our house. He was a very polite boy. My sympathy goes out to Charlie and the family.

There are things we have to get through in life, sometimes they’re like getting through a barb wire fence…they hurt. Robert & I crawled through a few of those in our time, sneaking into a footbal game or running from the law or getting through one of life’s many challenges. Every life has a purpose. To me, Robert’s purpose was to be one of my best freinds. He told me like it was, pulled no punches, kept me well grounded and never let me forget who I was. Buddy, I’m goning to miss you! You’re now in a place where you can watch over us and help us to always be ourselves. May your world be full of sugar magnolias as you listen to Uncle John’s Band down by the river side…cause, we all know, what a long strange trip it’s been! Rest in Peace, Buddy…Love Tommy
