My memory of Bobby Dodd Jr was playing football with him at Grady and Basketball. His dad was in the stands during our basketball games. Bobby awaysincluded me even though I was a sophomore and he a senior. He thru me my first touchdown pass, and always threw me the Basketball in our games. I learned teamwork from Bobby.

My condolences to Bobby's family. So sad to learn of his passing.
I grew up with Bobby in Ansley Park. We played endless games in and around McClatchey Park. Night games were usually Marco Polo on land and capture the flag. During daylight hours it was cowboys and Indians in the woods and then depending on the season, baseball, football, basketball and variations or just made up games. Bobby's favorite was slow motion tackle football, a game he invented. I can't explain how it was played, you would have to see it. Then, as Eddie mentions in his post, there was sitting on the sidelines at the Tech games and getting to play touch football on Grant field while waiting on the Coach to come get us and take us home. Let's see, there was Bobby, Eddie, Hilton, Nolan, Allan, Joe, Cap and a few I am forgetting at the moment, apologies. Kimbrough

I grew up playing ball with Bobby in Ansley park.and later at Grady High school.. I learned all about sports from my time with Bobby and his Dad when we would ride to Ga Tech games.. Bobby and I would sit on the sidelines to watch the game. After the game Bobby and I would go on Grant field and play goal line scoring .. We and Hilton Fuller ,Nolan Robinson and Kimrough Davis played for the 6 man touch football for the Atlanta Championship for 12 under league .. Bobby was 9 years old.. Great person and i know his family will miss him !! Eddie Brandt

I grew up with Bobby and lived near him in Ansley Park, on Beverly road. We went to Spring Street School and Grady High School together. He was always so handsome and gentle and kind. he was an iconic, golden child; and, later in life, I sometimes wondered if all the expectations placed on him as Coach Dodd's son were difficult to live with. Bobby handled it all graciously. -- a beautiful person.
