A godly man, who like so many mentored me in my early years as a believer in Jesus Christ. He lived what he believed and provided an example of what Christianity looked like in everyday life. Our condolences and prayers to Lessie, Kay and the family. He is Home awaiting our arrival as we will be reunited for eternity.

We enjoyed many years of being members at Southside Baptist Church in Winter Haven together.
Bob was a fine example of a Christian man.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time.
Sorry we will not be able to attend his service as we are in Georgia.
