I had the pleasure working with Bobby for a few years at the Austell facility. Would like to visit with him in the morning as he had a cup of coffee and his apple. It was a pleasure to have known him.

Bobby was a "good old boy". I worked with Bobby for several years and he was always a pleasure to work with. He always went the extra mile to do a great job. I will miss him dearly. This weekend I will hoist a fine quality beer and drink a toast in his honor.
