I was in school with Bob since the first grade at J.L.Wagner through Gadsden High School except for 2 years when I went to Disque. He was always a nice person and fun to be around. I was sad to learn on FB about his death. May God comfort and sustain all his family and friends at this time of loss, Amen.

To Bobby's family. I'm so sorry to hear of Bobby's passing. Bobby and I were inseparable friends in 1959, 1960 as we shared a back yard on the mountain. Hunting buddies and me back seating on his Triumph Tiger Cub are very fond memories. Lost touch with him in 1961. I extend my sincere condolences. I really liked Bobby.
