It is so difficult to lose someone who was like a brother to me while we were growing up in Sullivan and living several years only 2 houses apart. Although he was 3 years older than me, he took me under his wing and shaped my life from grade through high school. Lots of games,fun and sports with a guy you knew was very special. He had to affect so many in such positive ways and I am very proud and fortunate (as so many others are) to have known him. May God bless all of his family.

I am so sorry to hear about Mr. Bobbitt. He was a great neighbor and has a wonderful family. I will always cherish the memory he created for all of us by him cutting grass (early in the morning) and the love of his yard. With deepest sympathy.

I am so deeply saddened that Mr. Bobbitt / Charlie / Coach Bobbitt … is no longer with us ... He was a great neighbor and friend ... I have known the Bobbitt family for most of my life ... and considered myself very lucky to have had such neighbors ... I will always remember Charlie being a laid back and soft spoken man ... kind of like my own father ... and how Charlie loved animals and sports so much ... I won't miss Charlie getting up and cutting the grass early in the mornings though :-) … he was always doing something … a "real deal" of a human … I will always cherish the great fun and memories with everyone on St. Mary's Drive and how our parents let us all get away with some pretty silly things ... I will miss Mr. Bobbitt / Charlie … dearly and will keep the Bobbitt Family in my thoughts and prayers through out this trying time ... We have all been so very blessed to have had a man like Charlie Bobbitt in our lives ... May he rest in Peace ! … Sincerely and with Love … Jim " Jimmy" Edgar Jr. … the nutty neighbor to the north …
