To Robert’s family,
I enjoyed spending time with Robert and talking about our Pearson relatives. We were the youngest of our generation, and had questions of each other about our grandparents and older cousins. Robert’s brother, Loren, and my sister, Jeanne, were good friends as well as cousins. The Pearson families were close, and have always meant so much to us. That includes the Pearson Picnics that were held annually at Lake Ripley in Litchfield.

I remember Mr. Pearson! This was one of those neighborhood men who I looked up to as an example of Manhood. I was best friends with his son Mike… I remember seeing Robert consider his thoughts before he spoke. His words were always reasonable and his heart led his actions. He was a good father and a patient man. I have a deep respect for how he lived his life. He even took us to his work (Bostitch) once when we were kids… God Bless his Family who must miss him terribly!
