Bobby McCrae Long

Great friend thru twelve years of school good memories of fun and growth in our youth.

We were so saddened to hear the news of Bobby´s passing. He, and his wife Shelby, were so warm and welcoming to us when we moved to Church Hill over 30 years ago. We spent many hours filled with laughter and conversation on his front porch. Though his front porch is now empty, it is filled with fond memories and will always be the Long´s house to us. Our condolences to the entire family.

Bobby had a wonderful soul. He and Shelby were a pair made in heaven. I know they are happy to be together again. Will see you both someday! Love them and their family.

Bobby was truly a kind and gentle soul. From HOTH to the Porch Club to the Non-House Tour, and the Jug Band, he was always around. He will be greatly missed by all of us here on the Hill and everywhere else.

He was a kind, humble, and gentle guy and my first friend on Church Hill. Drank many a cold one and sang many a song on his front porch. He was the soul of High on the Hog, Travel well, old pal.

When I moved to Franklin Street in the mid. 1980's I was fortunate to meet Bobby and Shelby, two beautiful people! We had lots of fun on the porch, at Poes , HOTH and just about anywhere! They were wonderful to Bootsie, me and my Girls. We are gonna miss the old "Gamecock" and his great smile!

Bobby was a person you always enjoyed being around.

Such a gentle soul and wonderful friend. It was my privilege to have known him.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
