My condolences to Karen and the Cornett family. I met Bobby in the UPS store years ago. He notarized many things for me over the years-and in the process I came to know him. What a sweet person. He loved his family immensely and always had a story and a smile. Prayers for his family.

Karen, it truly saddened me to hear of Bobby's passing. I didn't have that many dealings with him but he was always good to work with whenever we had a project to figure out. Remember the good times you two had together, you're in my prayers at this time of sorrow.

A good man. I worked with Bobby for many years. We had many laughs together. Bobby loved his sports especially basketball. I believe in his mind he felt that he could actually PLAY the game. I had to remind him often that he was delusional. It saddens me to reflect upon his passing. My condolences to Karen and the rest of the family.
