Unk, to me.
The Best Uncle in the World.
He lived his life, he loved us all and he laughed out loud and made us laugh.
He was one of those Special people that touched our life and leave us changed long after they have gone.
He would want us to remember him with a smile, a fishing pole, bait and a cold beer.
Until we meet again, we'll miss you. I LOVE YOU UNK.

He was my daddy--i loved him with all my heart and soul--He was my best friend and my daddy all at the same time.I couldnt speak at the funeral so i am taking this time to write.Daddy could make you smile through the tears,he could comfort you just by his presence.His smile and laugh are forever etched into my heart.His eyes smiled even when he wasnt.There was nothing that he wouldnt do for anyone.His love was contagious.He was my daddy.....we will miss him every second of every day--our emptiness may never go away -he was my daddy and i just loved him more than words could ever say.I want to thank everyone for there wonderful and continuing support .I just feel so blessed that daddy was loved by so many.May God heal us all.....
I love you dad--you little girl

We would like to express our deepest sympathy to all of the family of Bobby Dobson. He was not only our mail man but our friend. We enjoyed picking on him and telling him not to leave that junk in our mailbox, we called him our garbage man. He always had a smile on his face and he always spoke to you if you seen him out. If you passed him on the road he would always wave. Bobby was a wonderful person and will be missed by us all. He would stop by our house and chat some, come by my dad's garage (Willie's Garage), and I would see him alot at Delong's store. We all thought a lot of him.

To the grandkids:
I can certainly sympathize with you in the loss of your grandpa. I just lost my grandpa 2 weeks ago. I know nothing I could say or anyone else says will ease the hurt or pain during this loss. Not a day goes by, I don't think of my grandpa and wish he was still here. Your grandpa Bobby was a wonderful person and will be missed by us all.

We met Bobby shortly after we moved to Hardy last December. He was very warm and friendly. If we were outside when he would deliver our mail, he would always wave or take a few minutes to talk. He would never pass you on the road without waving. We are very sorry to hear that he has passed away. Our deepest sympathies to Bobby's family, friends and co-workers. He will be greatly missed.

Our deepest sympathies to Bobby's family. He was our mail carrier on Idlewood Road and will be sorely missed. He always greeted everyone with a wave and talked to them if they were outside. He and my husband would talk about their jobs (both worked for the post office), hunting and fishing. He even gave my husband the U.S. Mail sign for the top of his car. We will miss him and our thoughts and prayers will be with the family at this difficult time.

Everytime I ran into Bobby he was so kind and always smiling. My heart goes out to his family for the loss of this dear one. Jesus tells us to always be ready to go when He calls our name to come home. If just one soul comes to know the Lord, asks Him to come into their life and lives for Jesus, from Bobby's death, his death will not be in vain. Jesus died to give each of us a chance to accept His love and grace. Heavenly Father, I come to you in prayer through Your Son Jesus, Father embrace Bobby's family with your loving kindness, breathe your love upon each of them. Give them strength in the days to come. Let them know I love each of them.Amen

Bobby was very well liked! He would always joke and pick with us and always give a wave through out the day while he was delivering the mail. We are going to miss him very much and will always remember his smile and how he made us smile!!
