Wishing Savannah Were Closer
Arrangements have been posted for Rob’s memorial service over on Gut Rumbles. Aw heck, I’ll quote the whole thing here; make spreading the word that much more complete:
Rob’s Memorial Service
Rob’s brother Dave has posted in the comments about the arrangements for Rob’s Memorial Service:
This is Dave, Rob’s brother. I just wanted to let somebody know that the arrangements have finally been made. If somebody has the ability to get the word out, please go for it.There will be a memorial service for Rob at 4 pm on Thursday, June 29th, at Fox & Weeks on Hodgson Memorial Drive in Savannah, followed by an after-service celebration (can’t be a wake if it’s after the Memorial) at our parents’ house. Pickers will bring instruments, everybody else bring voices and any Rob stories you can tell for everybody else to hear while they lift a glass to him. I’m going to miss my big brother, but I’ll do my best to send him off in style! There’ll be directions to the place at the service, or you can email me: dsmith [at] brannenlaw [dot] com. Thanks, everybody!
Arrangements are also being worked out for a way for those of us on the web to participate in the memorial for Rob as well. Details will be available in the next 12 hours or so.
There is also an addendum:
Dave asked that I mention Rob will be cremated as per his wishes, and that in lieu of flowers, donations can be sent to the American Diabetes Association.
There is an obituary that contains specifics on the last bit:
Remembrances may be made to the American Diabetes Association, 5105 Paulsen St., Suite C-236, Savannah, GA 31405
There is a guestbook you may sign or view as desired.
If we were close enough, you can be sure we’d go out of our way to try to attend.
