Not sure what to say?

I´m not sure why but you crossed my mind Mr. Bob. Hope you´re looking down on all your family and friends.

Our late mother, Jeanne, adored Bobby, her special cousin. He and Nancy were a lot of pizzazz in her life. We all admire Bobby, appreciate his many kindnesses and are deeply sad. What a gentleman, and what a legacy he leaves. The Whitman Family (Pulaski, Harrisonburg, Dallas)

My heart is heavy. I had the pleasure and fond memories of working with Mr. DeFord, Bobby and DeFord Companies for 10 years. Mr. DeFord was a kind, distinguished and respected gentleman with a bit of a mischievous twinkle in his eye. His was a life well-lived and is to be celebrated. May his Traditions and legacy live on in his family. My heart goes out to all of you.
