My condolences to the family
Sylvia—I’ll never have the words to comfort you. But I will be here for you always. Mr. B is the forever “girl dad”— While you will miss his physical presence—-the memories, the lessons, and the laughter will be with you forever. Please lean on us for support. You’ve earned the right to have us step up wherever you need us.
Uncle Robert words can’t express how much I am going to miss your chats. You gave me small nuggets of wisdom every time we met. Your strength and Resilience is more than I could imagine. I will keep you close to my heart. Thank you for your service.
Papa, You are a great example of what a father and grandfather should be and I am grateful for the your words and time.
Your legacy lives on!
Michelle, my deepest condolences to you and Cousin Vivian. May you all celebrate and cherish the wonderful memories Mr. Robert has left behind!

Lots of Love,
Charles and Brenda Freeman-Behlin and Family
Condolences and Prayers for the family.God Bless.❤️🙏
Mr. Bonnette was my best friends father. He seemed to always have a look of amusement on his face! He had a great since of humor but I never knew if he was laughing with me or at me!lol His home was like a second home to me which he probably wished was not the case! 🙂 Although Sylvia and I were best friends we went to different high schools at one point. Well one day I missed my bus to school so I walked up the street and asked Mr. Bonnette if he would take me to school, he looked at me like I was crazy but did it anyway and told me “Don’t let this happen again!” And then many years after I had graduated from college I was at the beauty salon in Columbia getting my hair done and in walks Mr. Bonnette delivering plates of food to the Salon & taking more food orders! It was so good seeing him at that time and such a surprise. I know that he will be missed. May the family take comfort in all of the wonderful memories of him.
May God surround the family with Grace, Love and Strength at this most difficult time. Robert was always quiet and unassuming in high school. Characteristics that propelled him into an accomplished and successful future. The Class of ‘64 will truly miss him. Sleep In Power Dear Classmate 🙏🏾🙏🏾.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Sylvia, your dad was truly a wonderful father and I know how much you will miss him. Continue to cherish all the wonderful memories you have and know that he’s always with you! Much love.

Sylvia & family; the transition of a loved one is difficult, & often unexpected. , However, what helps to sustain us are the memories that we had over the years and carry in our heart of hearts.
May you celebrate your Father’s memory as you plan a worthy homecoming for the life he lived & shared with each of you!
Thinking of you especially at this time, lovingly. Your friend & teacher…MLK
