Bob has been a very good neighbor to me since I have lived at Lake Wylie. Scott and I will miss our pier to pier conversations with Bob.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Bob's family. He was a very nice and a great friend to all of us here at BB&T Lake Wylie

My mother, Mary Frances Capps McGinnis, is Bob's cousin (daughter of Annie and Charlie Capps) and spoke of him recently when we were together (I live in Atlanta). Mom was trying to remember if Shirley was still living, but had lost touch with your family. Mom has Alzheimer's so remembers when she was younger, and talks often of the Hudspeth family reunions which were held at the old home place (I remember them as well, but was very young so don't remember them as clearly as Mom does). We will not tell Mom about Bob's death, as it will only upset her. Know, though, that our family will be thinking of you.
