“Robert would have been my grandfather if he had lived through Jonestown. He seemed like a kind, compassionate soul, and I am sorry to see him go. May his soul rest in peace.” - Darshan Davis

“Robert would have also been my grandfather if it wasn’t for his tragic loss. He will always be a part of who I am regardless of anything I do. May he and all those beside him be remembered forever.” - Jesse Allen Shelton (Davis)
