My condolences to the Prater Family. Robin and Sandra were my neighbors for several years. Robin was a kind and caring man that I enjoyed having as a friend. S. Shannon
Sandy and family, I offer my caring Condolences to you and family. I have known Robin since the early 60's as I was a family friend of his brother, Rabon. Especially over the early years I would speak to Rabon's mother and/ or brother. Robin's carved coconut head was picked out and mailed to Robin one day when we had been out to lunch and saw it in gift shop. Ray had said at one time that Robin had always kept it. He was very fond of Robin. Prayers Robin will be reunited with him and family in Heaven. Prayers lifted up to you and his love ones. God Bless.
