As I read some of the other entries,other friends have the same opinion, you were an old friend, a good friend and you were always there if someone needed you. You could make people laugh, but you had a big heart and would do anything you could to help a friend, Bobby you will be missed. Jimmy Moore Summerville,S.C

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. I had the distinct pleasure of serving in the Air Force Reserve with Bobby. He was indeed a special person and a definite asset to the units to which he was assigned. I thank God for the opportunity to have been a small part of Bobbies life. May God Bless your family and comfort you during the upcoming days.

Bobby- You will be sadly missed at our next Garrett High School Class of 64 Reunion. You leave all of us in the Class, as well as those of us from the old Waylyn neighborhood and those with whom you shared your wealth of jokes and anecdotes by e-mail, plenty of fond memories of you and your antics to hash around.

Bobbby, i have been your neighbor for 12 years now , i feel like I've been your friend forever. I will never forget the small talk over the back fence , and the way you always looked over my family while i was away. The practical jokes and cold beers out in the driveway will be missed very much. You were like a father to me at times , but mostly a very good friend. It's not easy getting used to you not being here, things will never be the same. My heart goes out to Brenda , Miss Effie,Chris, Rhonda , and Ryan , as well as the rest of your family.You always will willing to help anybody out no mater what it was, you will be missed very much.
