Robert still is one of the finest people I've ever known. Everything about him was admirable. He was

a wonderful gentleman and a kind neighbor. He will be missed by so many people and I am so sad.



He treated my dog Macky like he was his own--



Thank you Robert for being such a good person, I will miss you.

Dear family,

I am so sorry for your loss. My earliest memories include such wonderful times with Mr. Robert, Mrs. Mildred, Mr. Bob & Mrs. Maggie. It was always magical when dad (Bobby Henry) or Grandma (Mary Henry) took us to visit. I remember hearing a beautiful chiming but not being old enough to know why their home had such beautiful fairy music! I never hear a mantel clock chime that I don't think of those special times or smell the marsh that the Gentry family doesn't cross my mind with warmth and affection. It's going to be hard to say goodbye to someone who meant so much to 4 generations of my family. God bless!
