Linda and family,
JR and I continue to keep all of you in our thoughts. As I mentioned at the visitation, I bought my first car from Bobby when he was at Gwaltney Motor Company.
A few years ago, we enjoyed chatting with him often when he worked at Smithfield Family Automotive.
Our office kitty, Gypsy, enjoyed his visits, too.
Take care.

Bobby was my high school class mate & we reconnected at our last reunion. I so enjoyed seeing him & meeting/talking with Linda. Since then weve been Facebook friends & Ive enjoyed their shag dancing & seeing them enjoying time with the grandkids. What a life; keep those memories close.
Linda, Youve been often in my thoughts these last few weeks. My condolences to your family.

Bobby will be missed. I remember when I asked Bobby to show me a few Shag steps nobody could shag like Bobby and Linda he loved to dance. He always could make you laugh with his tall tells stories of way back when. I know God is putting his arms around Linda and his family at this time. May you and your family look towards God for healing and comfort.

Sweet Bobby always had a smile on his face and he was full of laughter. He had the gift to Gab and you always walked away with a memory of a joke that he shared with you. Bobby was The best salesman Ive ever meant and a hell of a dancer. Dear Linda, love of his life and family, Remember the good times and the love and laughter he shared and passed on to you.
Gods Blessings on you all,
