Summerville stood STILL yesterday...a tribute to what Bob meant to so many people. As I drove with the funeral procession, I saw people standing outside their cars in respect, hands and hats over their hearts, even some businesses closed down!!
I remember Bob from attending one of my brother's (Sgt. Richie Hill)infamous birthday dinners! Richie considered Bob part of "our family". I know he will be missed by many, but PRAISE GOD we will see him again on the streets of gold!!
