Robert is preceded in death by his loving wife of 54 years, Mandy Ruth; brothers, Burley Ruth and Harold Ruth; twin sister, Vela Wimbish.

One of those people referred to as THE GREATEST GENERATION was lost to all of us on Sunday. He was not very educated, in some peoples opinion, but the School of Hard Knocks and Life made for a very smart and resourceful man. The legacy he passed on to me and his other children and grandchildren will be passed on for many generations to come, as well as his Faith in God and the Power of Prayer through Jesus Christ. Thanks, Dad. He was loved by all that knew him and he will be deeply missed. For additional service or floral delivery information, please contact Basham Funeral Care at 873-8200.
