Robert Vernon "Bob" Dunnavant Sr.

Mrs. Dunnavant,
I was deeply saddened to hear that Mr. Dunnavant had past away. I enjoyed talking to him every Sunday morning. He will be greatly missed not only by me but by the community. I'm so sorry for your loss.

In Christian Love,
Beth Ann Bullock

Our prayers are with you all.

To Aunt Margie and all the boys..
It was a real blessing to grow up with your family, including Uncle Bob. I'll remember him as always cheerful and with great stories to tell. We were always welcome and always included, and that means a lot. Julia said it best, so I'll echo what she said, and add that you're in my prayers, too. Love, Kathy. Or as Uncle Bob use to call me, Kathymae or KathyCo. :)

I will miss my Uncle. My best memories of him are his deep resonating voice that you felt in your chest whenever he spoke to you; his jet black hair that he always had; watching him play the piano, (it always reminded me of how they played it in the saloons in old Western Movies); He would always tell me how he wanted to name his daughter "Julie" but since he only had son's....and how he drove to Virginia to welcome me to the world; How I had the same name as a "horse in Kentucky". But...

I did not know Mr. Dunnavant but I do know Jeff and Jason Dunnavant and their parents. I want to express my deepest sympathies for the passing of their grandfather and father. Many people had a high regard for him. I wish I could have known him. I will be praying for the family. May God bless you all.

I was really saddened to hear of Bob's death. He will be missed by a multitude of people but his memory lives on. God bless you all.

In 1976, I worked briefly for WKAC in Athens. WJMW & WJOF were the other stations in town. After being in Athens for a couple of weeks, I decided it was time to take a look at the competitor's facility. One night, I ventured over, walked right in through the open front door, finally finding this unassuming fellow in a control room. Immediately, I understood that this was the WJOF studio. Honestly, I thought this fellow was just another nighttime radio announcer, but he finally told me he was...
