My parents owned the A&J Restaurant, and I saw Bobby almost every day. He always took time to share his time with me.
Those were good days, I am truly sorry for our loss. He was a fine man.

I have always remembered the things that he told me as I grew up between home and the McBee's home. It has always brought a smile to my face. Our prayers are with his family and friends.
