His daughter Shelly was by his side. Robert was born September 12, 1934, to Louis Franklin and Lucy Ann (Perry) Erwin in Dallas, TX. Robert attended Woodrow Wilson High School and was in the R.O.T.C. but graduated from N. R. Crozier Technical High School, both in Dallas, TX. He spent his lifetime as a carpenter and tile setter, becoming quite a master of both. It gave him much satisfaction to be able to help build his beloved Bethlehem Baptist Church's new facility.

    I always looked up to my uncle Robert. He was a great role model for me as I was growing up. His great love of Jesus was demonstrated regularly. I respected his skills and craftsmanship and his love of music. I am sure he is singing a glorious New Song now!
