Our deepest sympathy to all of the family. Our friendship through Steve, Jayme, Brian and Adam connected us to Mr. Reedy and both Waco and I loved to visit with him at a farm sale or on the farm.
You could see in Robert’s hands that he had worked hard for his family, and you could tell in the way he spoke that he was proud of every one of his kids and grandkids. He was honest and generous and set the “gold standard” for the rest of us, at a level that few of us will ever attain.
We will miss you Robert, and I won’t drive by the curve at Pumpkin Creek with out thinking of you. I hope you find a peaceful spot with a good fishing hole and some big shade trees in your part of heaven.
With our condolence and blessing, Wayne, Waco and the entire Revell family.

Neva and Family,
Just a couple of days ago, you were on my mind for some reason. After reading about Robert’s death in the Parsons Sun, I now know why you came to mind. I am so sorry about his passing, and I extend my sympathies to you and your family. I have many pleasant memories of your years as a cook in 506. It was my privilege to serve with you. May God bless you in the days ahead.
