Dr. Pogue was a long-time loyal customer of mine. We had our passions for golf in common. I will always remember him as one of the most sincere and caring men that I knew. He always expressed more interest in me than himself. I imagine it was like that with all of his acquaintances. I will always have fond and positive memories of my relationship with him. -Dennis Legg, Golf Warehouse Atlanta

I initially met Bobby around the spring of 1987. We had many mutual friends. Bobby was always the perfect southern gentleman and generous in many ways. Although it had been many years since I had seen Bobby, he was always nearby in spirit. I have happy memories of him like a gentle breeze that blew through my life...To me, he will always be remembered as the love of my sister's life.

I knew the future Dr. Pogue as "Little Bobby." He was my 1st cousin, the son of my mother's brother, Bob, Jr. My brother, Ed, was his age, his roommate at the University of Alabama, his friend for a number of years. We lost touch in later years, but I know he was passionate about his profession, and those he served. My condolences to his family.

Bobby was a lot of things to me - friend, confidant, brother, challenge, blessing, wise, thoughtful, and much more.
I will miss him and pray for his soul.
My prayers also go with you, Cliff, Hunter and Parker.
