Dear Terry and family; Bobby was a good man, strong, and had a big heart. Countless times he helped me when it would have been easier not to. He never took the easy way out, and never minced words...and that is admirable in any man. Every day working with the man was an adventure. Not many could do the job he did as well as he did it. My heart goes out to you and your family. Sadly missed.
