Robert L. "Bobby" Parrish Sr.

In Memoriam: Robert L. Parrish You went so unexpectedly A shock to all, including me And now, the house feels so empty And who's gonna feed the dogs? There was a time you used to be A faithful greeter at Atlee But now, you're missed by so many Including the dogs at home. Friends and neighbors all do mourn But daughter Connie is most forlorn Because her Dad is really gone And, who's gonna feed the dogs? Eventually, we carry on Paste on a smile 'til day is done And try to sleep at setting...

I've known Bobby from the mid 1940s as both he and I was reared at the Presbyterian Orphans Home in Lynchburg (renamed the Presbyterian Home in the 1950s). I always looked forward to seeing Bobby, along with my ""brothers and sisters" at the annual Homecomings. Bobby will be missed.

Bobby ... although it has been many years, I recall your sincere smile and kindness. Sending much love and prayers to your family and friends. May God keep you safe in His arms.

Our sincere condolences to the family. We had the pleasure of serving with Bobby at Atlee. Bobby welcomed all with a big smile and such joy. He loved meeting and greeting our Atlee family. He had such a tremendous impact on people. We will miss him. He is now with our Savior seating at the feet of Jesus

Bobby ( Pops ) was as kind a gentleman as you could find . I met Pops at the airport valet about 30 years ago when I was flying every week he always looked out for me and when he saw me pull up he would come over with a great big smile on his face and was always happy . Bobby always sent us a Christmas card every year God Bless You Bobby aka " Pops " and rest in piece my friend I´m proud to have you known you
