I was your daughter you never got to meet. I´ve been looking for you all of my life. I´m so grateful to have finally found you a few years back but so disappointed you were gone. I have since learned so much about you and see so much of you in myself. I know we will meet one day

Dear Anne,

I just learned of Bob's passing. I am so sorry. Bob was such a great guy. The thoughts of when you two started dating brings a smile on my face. I will keep you and the children in my prayers. Please let's have lunch when I go to Georgetown or maybe you could come and see me in Charleston. God Bless.

Love,
Dean Freeman Lewis

Anne and Family,
It was with deep sadness that we at The Jackson Companies learned of the passing of Bob. Our professional relationship with him goes back to the days when he was with EASC and has continued since that time. Bob was a professional in every sense of the word and a true gentleman and friend. He will be sorely missed. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Dear Anne and family;
We were shocked to hear of Bob's passing. He was a resource to our members whenever someone needed guidance in a compensation issue. He will be missed.

Dear Ann and Family:
I first worked with Bob in 1985 when I was VP of HR at Bankers First in Augusta. Bob was with Hay out of Charlotte. We remained friends throughout the years. I referred Bob to dozens of clients and the feedback was consistent: "Bob is a true Pro plus a very kind and ethical man who loved his family." We will all miss Bob.

Dear Ann and Family, As I read of Bob's death, my thoughts and prayers are sent to you and your family. I remember being with you in the choir at Shadon UMC. I have missed seeing you in past years. My daughter, Cara Parker Hardy, told me that she saw Lee Anne recently here in Columbia.
