To the family of Robert Bentley: Where to start, first of all, I am so sadden to hear of Bob's passing. His humor and friendship to our father(John King) In his time of need was overwhelming. I asked Bob once how do you this day after day, set with dad while he is ill and act as nothing is wrong? I watch so many come through the door, and treat him differently because he is ill, He told me so what if he's sick, he's still John, that will never change, so why should the way I talk to him change?, it doesn't change that he's my friend,I'll talk to him as I always have. and always will, cause thats what a true friend does. I knew that day what a great man Bob was and how devoted of a friend also. I never met Bob when he didn't have a "story" to tell me, or a quick joke to make you smile. My neices and nephews talk of the little jokes that he pulled on them, with smiles and emberrassment, and fond memories. He will be missed by so as he has touched so many lives. I wish that words could express how important Bob and June were to many parents, but those words wouldn't ever be enough, as there are none that could be as expressed all of the love they showed in their actions throughout the years. I know nothing will help with the sorrow you are feeling at this time June, and I am so sorry for that, but know that this time, Dad is there for Bob, as Bob was always there for him, and I am sure they are already together again, sharing memories and jokes, and loving one another in the unique way that only they could. The many hours of horshoeing, playing pool and fishing, I often used to wonder just how much they got done, between talking. There friendship was one that would last an eternity, and now they will be toge Susan King Smith |
