    Uncle Robert, I am going to miss you. You taught me how to eat cornbread and syrup and how to cook different things. I will use the Kung Fu stuff you showed me in my Tae Kwon Do class. Love BJ

    It’s been a while since I seen Uncle Robert but I have not forgotten some of the times we shared. How he was a genuine uncle to the three boys in Houston. How he would show us some moves and even give us tactics to take down those bigger than us. Uncle Robert you will be missed. I want to thank you for being the person you were on earth. Love always, Royce Eli Weatherspoon

    The memory of you is a happy one. You left an after glow of smiles, an echo whispering softly down the way of happy times and laughing times. My tears of grief or dry because I know you are with God. My brother you will forever remain in my heart.

    Jane – my condolences to you. I fondly remember the times you and Robert visited Evangel Temple and he shared his wonderful gift of song and that beautiful smile. I’m sure that smile is even greater now that he sees Jesus.

    Rob was such a truly exceptional person! He always brought a bright spot of happiness to those around him- whether it was from a Fireball, or that huge smile!!! I will miss him greatly.
