Man gets four-year sentence in death Robin Pfister was struck by vehicle in July 2005 as she left a yard sale along Old Ind. 37 by Bethany Nolan 331-4373 | bnolan@heraldt.com September 22, 2006 "A little more than a year ago, the sunshine went out of my life." On Thursday, Tom Pfister spoke those words to the Bedford man who'd pleaded guilty to hitting Pfister's 44-year-old wife with a Jeep, then leaving the scene. Pfister said losing a limb would have been easier than the death of his wife, Robin. The couple have six children. "Not having Robin is not unlike losing a leg," he said. "She was the balance in my life." Kevin Moore, 46, was sentenced to four years in prison after pleading guilty to felony charges of leaving the scene of an accident resulting in death and obstruction of justice. That's four years for the leaving the scene charge, plus one year for the second charge to be served at the same time, according to court documents. At the hearing, Moore said he didn't remember the accident and apologized to members of Pfister's family. "I will live with this the rest of my life," he said. "Many times I've wanted to say I'm sorry to the family." Following the hearing, defense attorney Ron Chapman said, "This is a tragedy. I think everybody acknowledges that," adding he believed the plea agreement was appropriate under the circumstances. (and now my father's statement -- one of the most loving person's you will ever hope to meet ---) "Victim Impact Statement from Louis Miller concerning the death of Robin Pfister On March 8, 1968, Robin came into our lives. On July 15, 2005, she was killed by a car driven by Kevin Moore. Because of Robin’s death six children lost their mother, a husband lost his wife, 3 grandchildren lost their grandmother, a mother and father lost a daughter, two brothers and a sister lost a sister and many other people who knew Robin as a caring person lost a dear friend. As a parent and father it is difficult, if not impossible, to find the right words to describe the loss and painful emptiness brought on by the death of a child. One can only reminisce of all the joy , happiness and pride (along with the labor and responsibilites) derived from seeing your child progress from childhood to adulthood --- learning to read, going to school , learning to drive, getting a job, dating, marrriage , children and a whole host of other activities in- between. All of this emptiness and sadness was brought on by the inability of Kevin Moore to keep his moving automobile under control. I could have had some compassion for Kevin Moore had he gone back after he hit Robin to help in any way possible and to own up to his responsibility in this situation that he created. But, no, instead he not only chose to run from the scene but also to implicate his family by asking them to burn his clothes. In my opinion, such deviant behavior should be sentenced to the maximum extent allowed by the law, without relief by plea bargaining or parole at a later date. In addition, Kevin Moore’s driver’s license should be suspended and be carried out after his jail sentence as prescribed by law. After that point in time , Kevin Moore still has his life to live . On the other hand , Robin’s death has created a huge void in all her family’s lives never to be filled by her presence." Louis V. Miller --- Father of Robin Pfister And Mom's statement ----- "Since I went right after Renee it was a little more difficult to read, but managed. We had to sit up behind the railing right by Judge Kellams at a mic (always thought we spelled it with ke) . He and his wife both went to Univ. School about 40 years ago when I worked there, and her parents, the Foxes, lived next door to us. So Robin actually baby-sat his kids at one time. Victim Impact Statement from Norma Miller concerning Robin Pfister’s Death Ever since July 15, 2005, we have been without our daughter Robin. Now, we and her family face every family gathering, every birthday or holiday celebra-tion without her. As Tom her, husband, said at the time, “Now we will have the ‘first’ of all our family get-togethers without her.” All of her 6 children have now been through that, a birthday without their Mother. This spring and summer has been full of memories of how she loved the blooming flowers, and especially certain ones that have special meaning such as lilies of the valley. When she was a child she loved the “fairy ring” of tiny blue cillas that appeared in our yard. She loved to garden, and helped her Dad plant his vegetable garden in 2004 after his heart attack. That loving care for us as we grow older is something that would have been a great help if she had lived. Her love for her children was deep and constant, also for her four grandchildren, 4 more little ones she will never be able to see grow-ing up. Personally, I won’t hear her “Hi, Mom”, on the phone ever again. I can’t say to Robin “Do you remember...” anymore. I’ll never be able to give her something more of my Mother’s, her beloved Nana. We feel saddened that Kevin Moore was not compassionate enough to stop and see if there was anything he could have done for Robin after he hit her; and we’re also saddened that he even tried to hide his guilt by asking someone to burn his clothes. He surely must have been “under the influence”. Robin’s death has left a hole in our lives and in our hearts." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is for those who have asked. Thank you for your prayers, and concern, through this past year for the Miller and Pfister families. This is *closure*, with a small c. :( (Just my IMO --- as always). David

And this one too!

When you're there -- request Layla, for me. :)

Greg -- InvisibleDan has forgotten more than docvic ever knew. :) (My IMO)

I would have put a period, after the word *forgiving*.

How so??

Allan and TempleLady agreeing? There's 50 Miles of Elbow room to spare Woops -- edited to give credit to the Broke Mountain Bluegrass Band -- who performed the song). :)

Sir!!! Sir!!! Sir!! Step -- Forward -- From -- The -- Edge -- Of -- The -- Building!! Man -- feeling queasy just imagining being there, and doing that! Brrrrrrrrrr --- goosebumps.

Herbie -- thanks. So -- (more questions!) Is this in conjunction with a school there? Or is this like a *community ed* type of thing? When you said *comprehensive course*, I was wondering if it might be a part of a technical college curriculumn, where trades are taught.

Have tried to *link to it*. And no success --- :(

I had to *split* that up into paragraphs --- for ME. (old eyes -- needing spaces between words). So -- you never met docvic, but he's you're teacher?? And you expect us to believe he is valid? --- It won't happen. If you never knew him -- that is something some of us would wish for. Ya know -- I don't care if you speel coyrectly, or not. that might be a *big* point with some, but not with me. Plain and simple -- docvic taught one thing, and did another. and the stuff he taught -- he gleaned from other folk's work, and passed it on to the likes of us, as his own work, and we were guillable, and bit the bait on the hook. Sadly -- he kept his *lifestyle* intact, that totally negated what he *preached*. You'll find little respect (if any) for that man, on this site.

Chef -- check your Private Messages.

Paw is now Pax? :blink: Pax vobiscum -- Paw go with you. (Always shop in pairs!) Hmmmm -- and if you don't like that --- Pox vobiscum! So Appleseed --- what's the point of all the *cut and paste*? I got lost after line three of your single spaced pages of monolouges, that seem to be some sort of bible translation, and no point to it -- other than posting it. Was there something you wanted to point out? Ask opinions about? Debate? Or is it some sort of *prosyletizing*? Mebbe you can give a sense of direction -- to what seems to have NO direction. What say ye? (PS -- I don't like docvic either. You can check my previous posts on the subject, if you wish.) :)

LikeAnEagle -- so it was the Chris Rice cartoon song you meant. :B) That song started a buncha controversy up here also (Bullinger), on the Christian airwaves. The main station up here played it for a few days thinking it a funny light-hearted song. They got a lot of calls requesting it, and also got a lot of calls against it. Seems some Christians were too busy being *holier than thou*, and were offended. They called the station de-crying the *profanation* of the *Gospel*. Others called in and said we need *levity* like this --- keep it coming. Fortunately -- these folks were the ones listened to by the station. It's a novelty song, and was never meant to be more than that. It's been a while since I've heard it on the air -- I might request it tomorrow!

Great news!! Congrats. :B) Refresh us (me) about this school, if you would please. I remember you talking about it before, but the details escape me. :( (Love to hear it when someone sees their dream within their grasp!) (Ps -- if you're gonna grow all that good stuff --- Make sure there's no electrical outlet nearby. SafariVista will be lurking in the parking lot with her *juicer*, and all your hard work will turn into *liquid assets* of a different nature.)

The 60's were just the 90's --- upside down.

Interesting statement, Geo. Hey -- I'm not gonna *preach* here, since you and I know where we both *stand*. But what you said got me thinking. I know you gave the *PC* definition of Spirit from twi, but while reading your response, I found myself thinking *What if* it can be perceived by the senses. When someone does a good deed for someone else, or: when *out of the blue* a good thing happens to someone who didn't excpect it? or when *prayer* from the most unlikely source shows up? Meebe I am here, but like I said -- it got me to thinking. I've had good happen to me (as a result of folks I never considered spiritual) and I know others have too. And I (and the others) recognized the good, and maybe you just chalk that up to *kindness*. I don't know. Perhaps that is recognizing the *Spirit*, even though we were told it couldn't be done 5 senses-wise. Just meandering in thought here, and riding the third rock from the sun with you, to who knows where!
