Robert was (and IS ! ) a wonderful person.
We have known him all our lives , and it has always been a joy to be in the family with him. Our mother , Nellie Warren Goodwin and Robert’s dad, Maness, were loving siblings. Jewell Goodwin Ford and Rob. were born a few months apart, and grew up together. Bruce , Jewells brother, came along later.
Robert, we shall look for you in heaven.
Bruce & Jewell
Our family’s condolences go to the Warren family. Uncle Robert was married to my Aunt Barbara. They had a sweet love. He was a kind, loving uncle who always took an interest in my life and interests as I grew up and later with my own children. I will miss his voice and his gentle chuckle at things we discussed. I will miss our little trips to new places. He will be missed greatly!
