Pat,
I have thought about you and Bob over the years many times.
I am so sorry for your loss. Bob was a great leader of young men and women and I wish I could have thanked him for the things he did for me.
I didn’t like some of the things he pushed me to do but I don’t think I would be where I am today without going through them.
I would love to speak to you if you ever feel like talking. I hope the rest of the family is doing well through these trying times.
Your friend,
Bruce Kite
Pat I know I’m late but just hearing this…Don’t know if you remember me, but we played Softball together in the 48th. Bob was truly one of the good guys and one of the best bosses I ever had. I’ll never forget how fair and kind he was to everyone ….HUA
Robert Spinks was my supervisor in the Air Force in the early to mid 1980’s at Langley AFB. He was a great person to work for. He will be missed. Rest in peace Msgt Spinks.
May the love of God surround you and your family during this difficult time,
May you come to know that the love of God is with you always,
May your memories of Robert Lyndell Spinks, give you peace, comfort and strength…
Rest now in the arms of our Lord your mission on earth is complete.
I thank you for your service to our Country and my Freedom. You will not be forgotten.
