Larry Butterworth wrote a sympathy message

“Robert (I knew him as "Bobby" when we were youngsters) was one of my closest friends during elementary and high school days. I last saw Bobby and his wife, Shirley at a service at First Methodist Church when I was visiting Hopewell some years ago. He was a fine person and I know he will be missed. Larry Butterworth”
