We will miss him! The Texas City High School Class of 1969
I am so sorry for your loss. We went to High School together, and he was always a funny, jovial and nice person who everyone loved. I had not seen him since a long ago reunion, but surely remember him fondly. Somewhere in the hundreds of pictures I have, there is one where he and I went to Homecoming together. He gave me the biggest mum corsage I had ever seen!!! Those were the good old days! May his memory always be a blessing.
A friend of mine who will be missed. Robert was a wonderful man and a genius in the insurance business. In the decades I knew him we had many conversations about life, family, boats and just about any topic you can think of. I don’t recall Robert ever saying anything negative, ever. He was a positive and update person who had the skills to relieve me of any stress I might have had when wading through the complications of what he did for our business. He cannot be replaced. My condolences to all his many friends and his family. Rest in Peace my friend.
Rest peacefully. You will be and are missed by so many. It’s very hard to wrap my mind around the fact you transitioned. You told me once that you had been to visit the graveside of a grandchild and how you often thought of her. I pray you have united with her and are enjoying time with her just as you did with the other granddaughters while you were here. Rest my friend and know I have and will think of you often. Peace be with you.
My deepest condolences for your loss. Prayers for peace in the hearts of the Wheeler and Sweet family during this most difficult time ❤️🙏.
Rest in Peace, Uncle Robert. I will never forget how you lit up a room. I hope you have achieved eternal peace and are watching over all of us now. I’ve got big business plans, Uncle Robert! I need a guardian angel like you to watch over my ventures and do some negotiating with God for me 😉
I love you. Rest in Peace <3
