Not sure what to say?

We were so sorry to hear of the great loss. Bobby will be greatly missed. His life was well lived and he was well loved.

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

God bless you Angie and Louie.

Dear Angie,

I was so saddened to hear of Bobby's passing. At the race track, he was always asking me about how his retirement account at the State of Georgia fund was doing. I will so miss giving him an update, but now he has the best retirement plan of all and doesn't have to worry about it any more!! You are in my prayers.

Angie, Linda and JoAnne, We were out of town and have just learned of Bobby's passing. We too, have great memories of those days at the Exxon station to those at the races. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May the wonderful memories soon overshadow the sorrow and bring a smile with every thought.

DEAR ANGIE,
WE ARE DEEPLY SADDENED TO HEAR OF THE LOSS OF BOBBY. WE HAD SUCH FUN TIMES AT THE RACES WITH YOU AND BOBBY. THOSE ARE MEMORIES WE WILL ALWAYS CHERISH. YOU ARE BOTH IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS.
LOVE, MARY KAY, SONNY, RYAN & MATT LITTLE

I pray God will be with the family. I would love for the family to contact me at 478-932-5842 or P.O.Box 680 Haddock, Ga. 31033 or [email protected]

I was talking to Elizabeth Johnson tonight and she was telling me about Bobby.

I'm so sorry to hear about Bobby. A wonderful person to be around. I met Bobby and Ralph thru a great friend of mine Harvey F. in the good old days dragracing 60's/70's at Vidalia and Savannah.. May God Bless family and friends during this difficult time

Dear Angie & Family, Our hearts and prayers go out to all of you. Once again we have lost another member of the drag racing family,whom are caring and loving people,and once again it was suddenly within a blink of an eye and no time to say goodbye. Bobby will be missed by everyone who knew him. May God comfort you and give you strength. Robert, Joseph & Eddie Fulton

Dear Angie, "Little" Bobby and family, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Some of my greatest memories are of us all cooking out at the races over the years. I can only smile as I think back! You, along with several others in our racing family, have helped teach me (by example)what friendship is really about. So many times you have comforted my family in times of need. Angie, please allow your large racing family to love and support you during this time. May God bless and bring peace to...

Dear Angie and Family,
Our heart goes out to all of you. We have some fond memories of you all...boy are there some "war stories". It is unreal to think that Jerry and Bobby first became aquainted in the early '60s when they raced at drag strips in Effingham, Vidalia, and Savannah. From the days of flagmen at the starting line to today's use of modern computers in race cars(unbelievable). Bobby experienced the dynamic changes in this great sport we love so much. We have always claimed...
