Will miss Mr. Bobby. He was such a kind and loving man and was a joy when I visited at the Gardens of Daphne. He loved to come for the devotional and fellowship on Tuesdays that I attended. Always remembered to thank him for his service to our country. He was a proud American but humble in his duty. I am very thankful I had the opportunity to get to know such a friend. Fond memories .
