Robert was about the friendliest person in our class at TAC. He was so wise ahead of his time, and could talk your head off. He knew about so many things and people. He was a great friend and classmate. No matter how long (decades) it had been since we'd seen each other, he was still the same poised, articulate, friendly, and well-dressed Robert Love when I last saw him. Thank you, God for this Man of God. Sleep in peace my friend. -- Love, Gail
My condolences to Robert's family and friends. Robert was a classmate and friend. I will always remember his surprise phone calls and how he loved to talk about my older family members while I simply listened and smiled. He will be missed.
Extending my deepest sympathy to the Love Family. The Mileston community will miss his "jolly" spirit.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
