Not sure what to say?

Uncle Bobby was always looking out for people, including my brother and me, always welcoming. I mostly saw him when he and Aunt Happy hosted family for the 4th of July, and at other family gatherings--family knows how big and, uh, loud those gatherings could be. Uncle Bobby always seemed to be enjoying life. He will be missed.

We shared several long nights working on the Clay's Ferry Bridge on I-75. Bobby always had stories to share about his bridge job experiences that would keep a smile on your face. After that we continued our friendship. R.I.P. my Friend. I would like to extend my condolences to his wife Happy and the rest of the family.

Uncle Bobby was a true southern gentleman. Always took time for others. Enjoyed talking with him especially about the horse business. He will be missed. Wishing the best for the family.

I don't have the accolades to mention but once upon a time I tended bar at the 'the eye' where I know he spent many, many happy memories. always a class act and so sorry of hearing of his passing. I'm sure he's playing cards with so many other 'red eye' folks in Heaven

extremely classy guy:). CCI and so many other will keep his memory strong

Bobby was my uncle. I always enjoyed staying with Aunt Happy and Uncle Bobby at their farm when I could get to Lexington. Bobby was usually out of town working, but when he was home, I loved spending time with him. He was such a cool dude. My heart goes out to Happy, Dana,Leah, Alex, and Daniel.

Bobby, my dear brother-in-law, was a wonderfully kind man and generous to a fault. He will certainly be sorely missed by all who knew him. My sincerest condolences to my sister Happy, nieces Dana and Leah, and great nephews Alex and Daniel. Cookie Leet

Happy I´m the only one left of the "JW Davis" oldie Goldie group that knew and loved you all - I hope to get to Spindeltop but you can guess how old I am, and if I don´t see you, remember how we all loved Bobby. MARY ANN

Bobby, Happy, Dana, Leah were my next door neighbors for several years as the girls grew up. To all the family I extend my sincere condolences. May the happy memories of Bobby help the family during this sad time.
