I remember Bobby as a nice man who bought my daughter Crystal McMMain VanDiver and myself breakfast one day at a family restaurant in Henderson. I met him a few other times throughout my life. I thank him for serving our country and pray he is safe in Jesus arms today.

My condolences to the family! You all are in my prayers and thoughts! Bobby will surely be missed by so many. Bobby loved grilling, driving semi trucks, cutting wood and being an auctioneer. Bobby never met a stranger and offered to help people in need. Bobby had his own unique way about him. May God give the family comfort and strength in coming day’s ahead!
