Throughout the years Robert has been and active part of Bethlehem Baptist Church. His leader ship was very sincere. Many of us had Robert as the Bethlehem/ Cedar Grove ladies softball team coach and he was good one. He is very much loved and appreciated By all of us.
Robert was my sunday school teacher in th late 50’s and early 60’s. I’m not real sure of the years. I remember him as a man who lived his faith. He certainly had an impact on my life.
