Our hearts are with you in love and sympathy. May happy memories of life with Robert bring a measure of comfort.
Robert was a part of our Marshall H.S. family and after retiring from CPS, he became a part of our Marshall H.S. Men's

Hi Mittie! My sincere condolences on the loss of your husband. I worked with both you and Bob at Julian from 1977 to 1984. He was a very nice man and I am sure he will be sorely missed by his family and loved ones. May God watch over and bless your family.

Sincerely, Dr. Patrice D. Robinson

I just learned (via voice-mail) that the members of Alpha Phi Alpha, Fraternity, Incorporated are holding an Omega Service for our brother, Bob.

The service is scheduled for 10AM at the Bellevue Baptist Church.

Upon learning of someone's passing (or during any calamity), adherents of the Qur'an are taught to say:

"We belong to Allah; and to Allah is our return."
