See you and your banjo down the road Bob. One good man who, along with Laura Lee, added us to his family without hesitation in our time of need.
Never forget.

Bob was everything that was said in his memorial. I knew him through working with him as a vendor and kept in touch during his illness. Was shocked to hear this news and appreciate how despite anything he was going through he was upbeat and positive and making jokes. We texted that evening and he was upbeat about the prognosis and thanked God. Please know your family is in our prayers and appreciate the example I saw in him of how to treat and care for others.

Sending my prayers to all of Bob's Family, though I didn't know him in his adult years. I have fond memories with his parents and siblings from my Job's Daughter days.

So sorry to hear of Bobby´s death. I grew up in Ferry Farms and so did the Sebastian family. Bobby was always a great guy, started as a child and never changed. God bless you all during this terrible time. May He bring you comfort and peace. In Jesus name. Amen
