Uncle Robert was one of my most favorite Uncles. When I was young I used to think he was the most stately-looking gentleman I had ever seen, and I was proud he was my Uncle. His daughter, Linda, and I were unseparable when we were young. During the summer months, I would spend two weeks with her and then she would come spend two weeks with me. Uncle Robert and Aunt Doris were so much fun to be around. Uncle Robert was always so witty, and enjoyed doing things for Linda and I. As the years went by, and Linda and I both grew up and had families of our own, there were many adversities that came their way. I was always amazed at how calm and wise Uncle Robert always seemed to be, no matter what hand life dealt him. I always looked forward to special occasions we all could visit. Uncle Robert enjoyed coming to our Taylor reunions, and continued doing so, even after Aunt Doris' homegoing. Later Uncle Robert married Aunt Maudie, who has been a faithful companion by his side for all the rest of his years. The best way to describe Uncle Robert is loving, dedicated, and committed. He was a family man, who was grounded in his faith, and as I grew up, this is the one thing that I loved so much about him. I was amazed when he built Aunt Doris a log cabin in their back yard. He had the ability to look at all situations carefully, and never make snap judgments. He was always completly dedicated to caring for his family, and helping his friends. One of the last conversations I had with him was after he turned 99 and how he planned on living to be 100; this was a goal he was working toward. Most everyone is saying he was a few months shy of reaching 100, but a friend shared with me if you take his 99 years and four months, and add the nine months he was in the womb, he had reached that goal of being a 100 years old when he left us for heaven. My personal belief is that life begins at the moment of conception, not when we are born, so "Happy 100th birthday, Uncle Robert, and I look forward to wishing you "Happy First Birthday" in heaven January 6, 2024. Everyone I know loved Uncle Robert, and he will be dearly missed. This one thing I know for sure, there will be a great reunion one day in heaven, and Uncle Robert will be there.

Q: How would you describe Robert to someone who had never met them?
A: Robert Mellon was my uncle and the brother to my Pawpaw Joe. He was the sweetest person you'd ever meet, so kind and genuine. I know he's in heaven with my Mawmaw & they are so happy :)
99yrs is a good life. He will forever be missed.
