We just heard this sad news today. Bobby was a first class guy! He would stop by out store as he traveled and he just became our dear friend. He was kind to us, cared for us, was interested in us and our families and our business. He always encouraged us. It was easy to love that guy and we sure did. So thankful for our time with Bobby. He touched and influenced us and left us better! He loved his wife and family and told me so. Blessings to Gloria and family. Frank and Tyler harney

To Jimmy, Jane, and the whole family,
I just learned that Bobby died in February. I am so saddened and feel for all of you deeply. He was such a vital and compassionate person, and so effective on his work and so giving to his community, as well as being a wonderful husband, father, brother, uncle, and friend of many.
He was always a joy to be with and all will miss his presence, myself included. May the love your dear family has for one another sustain you in this trying time. And may the brightness of Bobby's life and spirit stay with you and give you peace.
