First and foremost, my deepest Condolences to Aunt Mary and my cousins and their families. Uncle Robert will be greatly missed especially by me. I was fortunate to have been adopted into this family and felt very loved and welcomed especially by my Uncle Robert. Although he was a man of few words, he greatly loved each and every one of us and he was very close to my dad. I will forever miss you Uncle Robert. May your soul Rest In Peace. Until we meet again ...

So sorry to hear of Mr. Felps' passing. We grew up on Kenneth Street in Groves a few doors down from the Felps family. Stephen, Deanna and Tracey were so lucky--they were born into a family that always had so much fun. They went camping and fishing it seemed like all the time. Their mom and dad, Mary and Robert, were great parents. Mr. Felps worked full time, but it seemed like he always had something on the driveway that he was working on, too. He was legendary in the neighborhood for being on the roof one time, working, when a speeding car flew down the street. The story was that Mr. Felps yelled at the car to slow down and threw the hammer he had in his hand at the street. He was concerned because there were always kids playing out in the street on Kenneth Street. God Bless the Felps family.
