Gavin, Marcy, Louise and Elizabeth.
Your father was the father everyone wished they had, full of life and always so intuned to all of his children's friends.I will miss his smile and always his teasing. You were all blessed to have him as one of the greatest dads.I feel blessed to have had his friendship and respect.He was larger then life.
You all will be in my prayers.

To everyone in the Stovall family, please accept our deepest condolences, but never forget all the joy and laughter, good deeds and deep friendships Bobby generated. His passing creates a void in our hearts but we remember him with a smile on our faces, and memories of the wonderful part he played in our lives.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

My deepest sympathy to Marcy, Gavin, Louise and all of the family on the loss of a wonderful father. I was fortunate to meet the beautiful Stovall family while teaching at the Academy of the Sacred Heart High School in the 70's. May God comfort you.

Please accept my deepest sympathy. I met Mr. Stovall in the late 60's or early 70's when I worked on and off part-time for our family business. Then I saw him occasionally thereafter. He was indeed a business force to be reckoned with, but to me, always a charming gentleman. He changed many lives. I am fully aware of, and grateful for, how he impacted mine. I always remembered his warm smile. You are in my prayers.

To Gavin, the Stovall family, and mourning friends of Bobby...

I will miss Bobby as comedian, motivational speaker, confidant, creative force, builder of great people, a personal celebrity of mine who showed concern and command of all detail. He owed me nothing but paid me great attention and respect. He was good at starting where he left off, and he left me laughing and enlightened any time we met.

How death would dare
someone so made of life,
so youthful in...

My deepest sympathies to the entire Stovall clan.

We will certainly miss Bobby at Butch McGuire’s, where we enjoyed hearing his hearty laugh, witty humor, priceless stories and excellent advice. It was an honor and privilege knowing Bobby and we thank him for enriching our lives.

Our deepest sympathy to the Stovall Family.

My sympathies go out to Bobby's family and friends. There's a large hole that will never be filled. Bobby was the sole product of the mold, always with a smile and genuine interest. Being with him was invariably a high point of the day. Now he's got a bigger audience to share his wit and wisdom. I join the folks who loved him when I say, he was truly one of the "good guys". Hasta luego, Buen Amigo
