    Bobby will be missed. He performed the marriage for my wife and I on July 3 1993. Always a kind word, something to share, a song or that sincere smile. Rest with Jesus sir.

    Bobby was one of my most favorite people in the world when I was growing up. He was always happy go lucky and always in a good mood. You will be missed but never forgotten. Love you always…. Your niece Connie Sue!!!
