I was saddened to learn of Mr Bob's death. He has forever been a symbol of the great service provided by Williamsburg Funeral Home. He helped us out with my father's burial in 1962 and my mother's burial in 1983. He will be greatly missed. He was an exceptional person. May God comfort you in your loss.

We will forever remember Mr. Bob for the gentle, kind man that he was to all of my family. Whether it was in the loss of a dear loved one, or seeing him at church he always had a kind word, and a smile for us all. Our prayers go to his family, and the staff of Williamsburg Funeral Home. Love In Christ, Chuck and Sheryl Belding

Dear Friends,

I was so sorry to see Bob's death in the paper. I've known Bob and Lena all my life. Grace & John Lawson were my parents. I married Frank Chestnut the first time and Don is our son.I think we lived across the street from you on Cooper St. for a while. I married Marion Joye in 1992. I really miss all of my friends in Kingstree.

I thought so much of your parents and you. Would love to hear from you by e-mail or phone (803-957-7803). My prayers are with you.
