To all of Bobbys friends and loved ones who were at the veiwing and or funeral,thank you for the outpour of love and support. Bobby I know is so very grateful for you all being there. And to those who couldn't, I know you'll take some time to remember just what he ment to you. I just want to say no matter the troubled times he and I had he was always there for me and I for him, especially when it concerned our children, he loved them so much. And when the kids and I lost our place to live Bobby opened his place to us,all six of us in a two bedroom apartment, very crowded but felt like home. And then we found a house and have been together ever since. I miss my best friend and best man ever to enter my life, LOVE YOU BOBBY. UNTILL WE MEET AGAIN.

Bobby was a friend of mine forever, we dropped in and out of each others lives since high school. We hunted, fished, drank beer together, and always helped each other when needed. I will always remember when I was going thru a realy bad time Bobby and Billy took me hunting with them and brightened my outlook on life. I last saw Bobby a year ago and it was like old times, Bobby smiling and laughing like always. I will always remember Bobby as the friend who I enjoyed so many good times with, see you in heaven Bobby.
