Saddened to hear the news of Bobby's passing. He was truly a very courteous and caring man. I always enjoyed his kind and gentle ways when we were at the Brooks Family Reunions together.

Bobby is the sweetest man I have ever known. He is a true and honest personality with a wonderful sense of humor. He made me laugh when I wanted to cry. I've precious memories of times spent with him and Billie, and I will miss him greatly. I pray the family will take comfort from friends and family members who are there for them in this time of sorrow.
