Granddad! Oh Granddad! I tried. We talked, you and I know what you taught me and I'm greatful. I came from California to help you in the best ways I could four times total this year, but they didn't want us to connect, yep the last Hinton, me. It's cool. I am..... You told me things that allowed me to see what black widow spiders do, sorry you got caught in the web, remember when you told me you made a mistake about decisions before your demise? I tried to help, this is true. Yeah 3000 miles back and forth four times this year, and no one helping us two disabled father's connect? Why? It's supposed to be cool, huh? The only thing America will not accept is an angry blk man. Sadly our women agree, not at But most, meaning all. But yet, they prey on us, without us they wouldn't even be mothers, I'm going through similar, we talked, laughed, and thank you for letting your grandson know. Traveling from California was worth the trip 👍. Rest finally in peace my last representative of fatherhood, you did a great job, evidently. I heard about stuff nevertheless you were still great in your endeavors to at least be worth something as a MAN. No matter what nobody say. We all make mistakes as men,(not saying you did Granddad, but I did hear stuff and it ain't none of my business) nevertheless as men we make the future, the women carry it because we haven't formed a nation yet as blk people. You did a great job Granddad, thank you for letting me know what I needed to know so that I can heal from the 25 year commitment to my family I authored and ended up like what you said, Thank you Granddad for the proper insight, thank you I love you so much Granddad, rest in peace finally.

I extend my heartfelt condolences to the family. As hunting buddies, there are so many special memories that will be cherished. Robert Jr. and I shared many conversations from the pool hall in Apex to Warrenton, and Wellington reminiscing mostly about hunting trips, beagles, and racoon dogs. I will miss those visits. Rest in peace my dear friend. With Prayers and Thoughts, Rogene Holden and Family
