My memory of Robert was the day he went to a show with us (The Orlons) and everyone who was always using curse words to talk knowing he was a Deacon in a church no one used curse words that day not even a small one they were afraid to mutter even a small curse word they all talked with respect that was such a relaxing ride going to the show That day he caused everyone to talk like they had some sense COCO from The Orlons May he rest in Peace

When I first met Robert we talked as if we knew each other for years. A very positive spirit. This was at an outdoor show for the Orlons in Ridley Park PA. R.I.P. Robert.

To the Family, I am so so sorry that I cannot be there with you. Know that my heart and prayers go out to all. Robert was not only a good friend but always stayed in touch with me. I loved him and he will be truly missed. Sincerely. Deborah Powell

My beloved Robert, I will never forget the long talks we had when we met! I will always remember watching westerns and gangster movies, your favorite, together with you. I will miss going to church every Sunday and watching you shout, dance and say, " Sweet Jesus."
I will miss your smile and the good times we shared in NJ, Philadelphia, PA and North Carolina. You were a family man and loved your friends and family very much. I will miss hearing you play your favorite songs, "God Favored Me", "My God is Awesome,"and "For Those Tears I Died," many times in one day. You knew your word and I will remember our daily Bible study and hearing you pray for your prayer partners every day. My family will miss all of the fun times we had together. Loving you always, my husband my friend. Gone too soon! Your wife, Cynthia Cooper Powell
