Bob was my first office-mate when I started work at IBM in 1983, and he took me under his wing. Everybody without exception respected him for his kindness and civic spirit. We would joke that if the Christmas lights were going to get hung on Lawrenceburg's Main Street, Bob would be the one doing it. What a quality human being. Condolences to all the family.

We are deeply saddened at hearing about the passing of Colonel Bob. He was not only a member of our KFC Family, he was a very dear friend to our family. He was one of the most genuine and kind hearted men we knew. With laughter that was contagious.
Our lives were definitely touched by Conel Bob. We were blessed to have known him. He will forever be in our Hearts.
God Bless

So sorry for your loss. The Col. was very helpful to our family in obtaining information about our family's graves at Hebron Cemetery. My father, Raymond Cox, enjoyed talking to him whenever he would see him.

Volita, Nina, Juanita and Girls.
My condolences to each of you for the loss of Robert Martin. I remember him as one who always approached with a smile whenever we met. Through the many years of knowing Robert, I observed him as being an ambassador to man, and of God, I'm sure that he and Carolyn will enjoy entering God's kingdom together, May you both rest in peace.

Vickie and family, So sorry to hear of the passing of your Dad. I remember him fondly. Do you remember the time I went with you and your family to your church for a fall festival or something along those lines? You're in my thoughts and prayers at this time. My husband Bob remembers talking to your Dad several times, too.

I am so sorry for your lost, he was such a sweet man I only met him when he came to Heritage Hall but he brought me so much joy from his kindness that he showed me he was always wanting his strawberry ice cream. I will sure miss him, but I know that he is with Jesus and telling him all his jokes. Again I am so sorry
