"Such a wonderful tribute to cousin John for me he was forever Mr. Cool Always a slow an deliberate stride.  John Robert I wish you good thoughts on your new home!  I also hope you find you other cool cousin Hi Top and you both get to listen to some cool music and groove!  I will never forget you either as 17th is also my birthday!   BLESSING to you an your siblings an FAMILY.  I forgot to mention when I was growing up I was convinced you were Smoky Robertson.."

Uncle John Robert always showed me kindness and acceptance ~ a symbol to me of what family is all about. He was there to help me when I needed help and shared words of wisdom that I have used throughout my adulthood. I will always remember him that and especially that rewarding smile that made a person feel acknowledged. When he smiled everyone knew they were welcomed. God has a special singing angel in heaven now.
