Uncle Bobby you will be remembered and so dearly missed. Your wisdom and that beautiful smile will forever be missed. I always told you you reminded me of Billy Graham. You had the continence of a profit to me. The last time I saw you I said that to you again. I loved you and Eunice so much. And all your precious children my sweet cousins were always so good to me. You were and are such a big part of our family. I know your with Jesus now. What a glorious day that must be. Till we meet again dear Uncle and friend I will miss you!
