Dot,
I am so sorry to hear of Bobby's passing. I can remember so many good memories of knowing our precious Tom's family when together many years ago. I also remember the wonderful times our parents shared together. Bobby and James will both be missed. You and your family are in my heart and prayers.

We are so sorry to hear of Bobby's passing. My Dad, my brother, and myself spent many Saturday afternoons bird hunting with the Chambless family at their farm. Bobby was a true gentleman and a wonderful friend. Our lives are richer today because we knew him and his precious wife, Dot. The world is a little smaller today because of his passing, but he has left a wonderful legacy to his family, of whom he was so proud and loved so dearly. I know today, he is with his brother James and all of the 'Dawgs' in heaven, getting ready for the Gators this weekend!

God bless you all during your time of grief. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
