Robert, my precious brother and friend in Christ.  How I'm going to miss our talks and text messages.  You have been a friend to me and my family for over 44 years.  I have many special memories.  My fondest memory is of  you visiting me after I had my first child.  We didn't have a name so you suggested Monica, and that name was selected.  I will never forget your laugh and the genuine concern you had for others. Rest in peace my brother, my friend.  Love you, Linda Hall and Family. 

My Uncle Robert Earl😭😭😭 gone .. but never forgotten!... He always was so loving and kind to me; he would always make me laugh!!! I mean I wouldl be cracking up! talking to him, I guess all of us in the family are comical in our own little way, we know how to make people laugh but especially you and my dad, the late (James Edgar Thomas) you would in the  middle of our conversation stop! And say girl!!!! You know you look like your mama LOL!... I remember a time when I was younger and you protected me,...i'll never forget that day thank you! You were my angel on that day.... even though I'm saddened by your passing; I know now that I have another angel watching over me💝 please say Hello to my other angels Uncle Weldon, Mother dear, Grandaddy, Aunt Yvonne, My Daddy😭,Auntie Gloria, Rest well Uncle💝

Brother Robert Thomas has been apart of my family for over 48 years. He was a very good friend to both my mom and dad, Donnell and Shirley Wilredge. When we lost my father unexpectedly in May of 2019 Brother Robert and Sister Sandra came right in to help and he was adamant that he wanted to do the sermon at his best friend's funeral which we were forever grateful. He will truly be missed. We loved him dearly.

Bro. Robert just a few months ago I saw you along with a lot of your family.  We all took pics and laughed and talked and enjoyed one another. I had no idea it would be the last time I saw you. Please know you will be truly missed. We are really going to miss how you ministered the Word of God so many times and shared that message of Grace.

Robert, You may be gone from my sight but, you will never be gone from my heart. I will always remember our many conversations about the lord etc. and the laughter we shared together. 
May you rest in Peace until we meet again. ❤

May you Rest In Peace 🕊 paying my respect 

Uncle Robert, 
I love you dearly and will miss you tremendously. I’m so grateful to have had you as my uncle. I will forever cherish our relationship from the laughs we shared, the long conversations and your words of wisdom. l will store those memories in my heart forever. You are now with the Lord and we will see each other again! Love you always your niece Tiffany.

My brother Robert was an amazing man of GOD who loved Christ, family, and serving the Kingdom.   I am grateful for the time that we shared together,  our conversations about life and Christ, and his model of unwavering love for his wife and family.   While you will be missed,  I celebrate with you as you have been fitted for your crown of righteousness.   You ran an excellent race bruh!!!

Mr. Thomas and I worked together part time for CSI doing security at OCBF. He was so very caring and loving to all who knew him. My last moment with him was when he called me to check on me not long before his passing to see how I was doing. He always wanted to make sure I was safe and got rest because I worked a full time and part time job. I will miss him and thank God for his love towards me. 

Robert and I were in the graduating Leadership class of 2017 at OCBF. My most memorable time with Robert and Sister Sandra was at his 70th Birthday Celebration. First party I ever attended where they passed out gifts to all of the guests. It spoke volumes of the giving spirit of Robert and Sandra. He was a great brother with a giving spirit and a heart to serve. Rest In Peace  my Brother until we meet again.
