We were extremely saddened to learn of the passing of Mr. Jarvis. We still call him that, I guess, because that’s how we always referred to him growing up as neighbors in Jefferson Park. Our sincere condolences…Chris and Monica Walker
My sincere condolences to the entire family of Mr. Bob Jarvis. He gave me great advice and supported me over the years. I was honored to have known Bobs parents, Earley & Fannie, where we met years before I actually met Bob. He opened many doors for me as my career was just starting. Some called him Yacky, but I always called him Mr. Jarvis or Bob. I was honored when Bob ask me to sing at his Dads funeral. What a great family…
Mr. Jarvis will be missed deeply by all who knew him. RIP Sir!
Until we meet again…
