My sincere condolences to the Prentice family. Robert was a very good friend to me and my husband Alvie, not only a neighbor from down the street from us but also as the owner of the body shop where we would take our vehicles whenever we had to have repairs done. I remember when we had a fire at our house, Tina ran down the street just to make sure that we were OK. We loved both Robert and Tina and I will definitely miss him and I know if my husband was still here with us he would too.
