PICTURE
Robert Wiley "Rob" Hurst
Robert "Rob" W. Hurst was welcomed into His Saviors arms on January 4.
Robert had been a long time resident of the Savannah and Effingham area and spent much of his life employed by GulfStream and the Savannah International Trade & Convention Center. Besides his love for robotic engineering and fixing broken things, he was also a lover of music and a talented artist. More than anything, he loved to teach others; whether it was about engineering, or automotive, or math, or music, or especially about the Lord, Robert was first and foremost a teacher. At his heart, he was simply a country boy who was happiest on the front porch with his guitar, and his grandchildren.

Survivors include his children, Holli (Paul) Lynn Stevenson of Cincinnati OH, and Matthew (Debra) Haley of Sylvania GA; his grandchildren, Michael & Abigail Stevenson; and his brother, David (Susan) Hurst of Asheville, NC.
Visitation will be Saturday from 6pm to 8pm at the Bloomingdale Fellowship Church at 1501 Hwy 80 East, Bloomingdale, GA.
Memorial Services will be held Sunday at 3pm at the same location.
In lieu of flowers, the family has requested donations be made to the Savannah Mission in Robert's name.
In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Old Savannah City Mission, www.oscm.org
