Robert H. Williams

He was a good man, one of Wal-mart's best customers. He truly did live life to its fullest! In fact, at 79, he was out wife-hunting and in the process of writing an autobiography. I spent hours with him, as he poured out his story--one that proved full of life and adventure. His experiences were so very important to him and he wanted to share them with everyone. I hate that I did not know he was dying. He was spry and healthy the last time I saw him! My heart and prayers go out to your family, Mr. Bob! I think now you may be much happier to be with your wife and son. God bless you!
