We all loved Uncle Robert very much and will miss him always. But we know that he is with Aunt Helen where he has wanted to be for a long time. Our thoughts and prayers are extended to the family.
Wayne and I were so sorry to hear about Robert. He was a wonderful man. It was so nice to see him at the graduation. We will miss him.
With deepest sympathy,
Nancy and Wayne Winebrenner
Dear Bobbie, Susan and Judy,
I am so sorry for the loss of your father. I know you will miss him, as I still miss mine.
I feel in my heart he is where he wants to be, now that he is with Helen once again.
I love you all very much.
You make me proud, Tio. Thank you for all the memories. You made my childhood on the farm particularly special. You are a good man with a good heart. I know you are thrilled to be with Lucy and Paco and all the other dogs in heaven. Have no worries. Your babies here will be fine. We’ll be seeing you. – “Jeffener”
Bob; “Old Man” Thats what I called him. He was a strong opinionated person, he’d give you his opinion wether you wanted it or not. He was honest, hard working and would do anything for anyone that needed help. Under his tuff outer appearance he was sensitive and kind. I will miss his friendship, stories and opinions. “Old Man” we will see each other again.

I’m so sorry to hear about Robert’s passing. I’m glad I was able to see him last Spring after such a long time. He was just as I always remembered him. Strong, straightforward and full of joy. I will always love and remember Uncle Robert.
Daddy,
Ican’t tell you how much I miss you. To me you were the best daddy in the world. You were always there whenever Bobbie and Susan and I needed you. I am so proud to be your daughter. Tell momma, abuela and abuelo that I love you all and will miss you all for all of my days.
Your loving daughter,
Judy
