Dear family, Your Daddy, Paw Paw, Brother and Uncle was a truly loved man. He had a wit that could make anyone laugh. He loved to tell stories of "the good ole days". Some stories included his military life, some his friends, but most endearing to him were those about the family he loved so much.

Our family's life too was blessed by this man. He shared his love to our daughter Steph as if she was one of his grandchildren. There was always an ice cream in his freezer for her when she came by. He would even pass on a message to insure her arrival for the treats he would obtain specially for Kelsey and her. He was a such a sweetie.

I want to say thank you to the family for sharing with me the opportunity to give back to Bobby in a small way. It was an honor to care for him in his last days. I was privileged to share some quiet moments, to see how much he was loved and in those wee hours to hear a few final stories. Bobby you stood tall. You are a man to be honored. May you rest now in peace as you are in the presence of our Lord and all of heaven. Your work here on earth is done.

God Bless,
Jill and Sam Howard and familhy
