Bob always made us laugh with his jokes and laughter. We will miss him and Mercy in our community in Arizona where they welcomed us into their home.
May God bless his family and we know he is resting in peace. With Love and Friendship.

My condolences to the family of my boyfriend, Chris A. Harborth, on the loss of his grandfather. I wish I could attend the services with him in California and meet his West Coast family. I regret never having a chance to meet Robert and I pray you all find solace in one another. Enjoy seeing one another during this difficult time and try to make this gathering a happy memorial for Robert.
Sincerely,

I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Jarvis; i knew him and his wife Mercedes from the srgcc and had the pleasure of serving him for many many years. he had such a great smile and laugh along with his great sense of humor - which he always had, even when crazy things happened to him at the club. He was really funny, i am sorry that he passed before i saw him again. May god bless his soul, may he rest in peace, and may god's peace, love and rest be with Mrs. Jarvis and their beautiful family.
