One by one, the Wakefield Class of 1956 and suffered another loss; this time a loss of a man who went out of his way to be friendly. He will be greatly missed by all who have known him for these many years.
A dear friend with a generous and happy spirit to the end… we are blessed to have known him… our thoughts and prayers are with Carol Ann
Always a true friend. I have been privileged to have known him for 62 years. Never heard him say a bad word to or about anyone. A true gentleman. He added greatly to the fabric of my life and i will always be grateful that he considered me a friend.
Dear Carol, Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. I feel privileged to have known Bob and you, I am so glad you were able to join the “walkers” for breakfast before Christmas. I will not be able to attend the memorial service on Monday as I am leaving for Florida. I will see you when I return. Love, Carol Bevill
What a truly special man, husband, friend and cousin! Bob was a blessing to all who knew him. We loved Bob and love you, Carol Ann. Our thoughts, prayers, and heartfelt sympathies are with you during this difficult time. Love, Patty & Allen
My husband and I vacationed with Bob and Carol Ann and her parents many years ago and it was delightful to reconnect with them in recent years. He was a loving husband and caring friend and will be missed.
Dear Carol Ann: You are in our thoughts and prayers. Bob was a special person and we were blessed to have him in our “walking at Tysons” lives.
We’ll always appreciate his kind hearted personality. No matter what he was facing himself, Bob remained ever attentive to all the positive aspects of life. Robert F. Phelps truly is a cherished memory that will enhance the rest of our days.
Every time I think of Bob I thank my God for bringing him into my life. Bob taught me to always look for the best in a person and to have a joyful heart. Bob was a kind and affectionate person and he will be sorely missed. One thing that I loved about Bob was how he always referred to Carol as his bride which indicated to me how much he loved her. Bob you will be missed but I know that you are at rest with my Heaven Father.
Carol Ann, I will be always remember as a kind, compassionate and loving man. It was an honor and privilege knowing him.
Dear Carol Ann, I will always remember you and Bob coming to walk and talk with the fellow walkers. It was always fun to see the both of you and to enjoy your company. What happy and fun times they were!! Bob was a great guy and you were so happy together!! I can still see his smiling face. Take care and God Bless!!
