Sad news. I worked with "Wim" at Texaco and always regarded him as a good friend, on the job and away from it. I regularly talked by phone with Wim & became very concerned when I couldnt reach him during this pandemic. Rest in peace my friend.

My condolences to the family of Mr. Wimberly. I worked with Robert at Texaco for my first few years as an operator. He was a mentor to me. He was always willing to help me learn. He was a great person that everybody respected for his willingness to help others and for being a truly kind person. May he rest in peace.

I am very sorry for your loss. I enjoyed our friendship together in high school and then again in Port Neches. Will be keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

I remember trying to get up enough courage to get on the roof of the add-on he was helping dad build, when halfway up the later I met my dad on the way up riding a sheet of plywood on the way down lol, no I didn't make it on the roof lol. And the catfish, just to many memories of a great man. God bless you Mr Wimberly.
