My family loved Mr Bobby
Bobby was the greatest neighbor and friend we could have ever had. Our prayers are with you all.
So sorry for your loss. May God bless you and family.
Only know Mr Bobby a few years, but he was a great friend to me. Always look forward seeing him in church, he would light up the church. He was going always speak to you and shake you hand.
May our God be with his family and friends during this time on need.
So sorry for your loss, Carol Sue. I know this is the hardest thing. God Bless You and your family.
I remember Bobby both as a child walking down the road from Mama Carley’s & Aunt Winnie’s and Uncle Preston to being a adult as always fun and a jokester. My daddy loved him dearly as did I. May God Bless each of you at his passing and homecoming.
Susan, I am so sorry about your daddy. Although I did not know him, I have heard nothing but good things about him. You and your family are in our prayers.
Mike and Cheryl
