Dear Sallie,
Please know that Craig, myself, and our little squirrel (as Robert dubbed her) are here for you. We share in your sorrow and will miss your Robert very much. What a dear, kind, and most gracious man he was. Heaven has gained a treasure.
Much Love,

Sallie,
We are Peet Dickinson's parents. We were so sorry to hear of Robert's passing. We have alway enjoyed chatting with him during our visits to the Cathedral. He always greeted us with an enthusiastic welcome and always had such nice things to say about our son and the positive atmosphere he had been witnessing at the Cathedral. Peet will miss him so much! May you find strength and peace during this very difficult time and in the days ahead. May God bless you and watch over you and your extended family. Suzie and Rob Dickinson

Sallie,

Sallie, I'm so sorry. I pray that the Lord will comfort you during this difficult time and that you will find peace and joy through your happy memories of Robert. Robert was such a thoughtful, kind, and gentle person, who was always friendly and easy to talk to. We will all miss him.

How many photos did Robert take of Buist students while you were principal? His participation in the life of the community at large as well as serving as the erstwhile Buist photographer during every event and activity are my most vibrant memories of Robert - always wearing a jaunty hat (which he always removed when indoors). I know you will miss him. We all will. Much Love to you -

Dear Sallie,

I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my heart, thoughts, and prayers.

Sallie,
We are so sorry for your loss. Robert was such a lovely person. I'm glad that we bumped into you both at dinner recently therefore getting to see him one last time. He will be missed in this community, he was such a passionate advocate for Charleston and just a true gentleman in every sense of the word.

Dear Sally,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Robert was a very gifted man leaving a rich legacy for all. May he rest in peace. Love Kari, Joey and Peter

Robert was a true gentleman and our city will miss him. He loved Sallie, Charleston, his church and a good conversation. He had a smile for everyone and no one was ever over looked. Robert was an integral part of our city and its culture, a true presence. I love you Sallie. Diane Aghapour

Dear Sallie,
I am with you in grief and send love & hugs

What a loss for our wonderful city! A true gentleman, always cheerful, and deeply concerned about those living here. I cannot believe I will no longer see his smile as he hands me a bulletin when walking into church. Heaven has a new livability chairman!

I am so sorry to learn of Bob's passing. He was a dedicated member of the Charleston County work force, and I remember him as a friend. He will be missed.
