He was a dear friend all these many years and I will miss those visits. RIP Bobby, and rest assured you will not be forgotten. Archie...

Your hardware store was one of a kind. All of us here at Northeast Mowers send our prayers and condolences to the family. RIP

My condolences to the family. I loved going to Counts Hardware store every day and getting a can of soda and bubble gum. He even let me help clean up the store for a llfew dollars. He'll be missed. RIP

So sorry hear about Bobby's passing. Many fond memories, of the Count's family, growing up in the old neighborhood. I will keep all in my prayers.

Bobby and I have been friends all our life starting back when we were in elementary, junior high school and at Northeast HS. He was truely a gentleman in every respect. Gone but not forgotten. RIP my friend. Don Palmer
