My love for Bobby and Ilona as part of my family dates back a decade. Bobbys was a loving and adoring father and spouse, karioke,pool, motor cycle,bbqing,free spirit. We shared family from the start of our friendship so we were and always will be family. I will miss you there are no words to express how much.
I know we will see each other again. I look forward to the day. I love you

Ilona, I am soooo sorry! You and Bobby were an awesome couple! Through you, he found true meaning and happiness in his life! I can see him wearing his Tony Romo jersey and singing for the angels! One of my facorite memories is Bobby playing lifeguard at Ballentrae! He was in the pool on one of the tall chairs when he whislted and yelled for everyone to get out of the pool because the lifeguard had to pee. All got out, he sat there for a minute then said, ahh, all can come in again! am sorry that I could not make it up there for the service. (My father who lives with us was in the hospital and had just gotten out. I felt that I should stay and take care of him). We love you, hang in there! Susan and Darrel

My brother, Bobby Wayne, I can't believe you're gone. You have left so many behind. I know we'll see you again someday. I remember when we would fight growing up. Seems so silly now. You would aggravate me and I would bite you. Then we would both be in trouble. You spent every minute making sure people knew you cared and loved them and not afraid to show it. That's not something men usually do, but you were a strong man. I'm so thankful that you found Illona to share your life with. I believe that she completed you. I'm just sad it took a lifetime to find her. Your daughter, Baylee, is you life's blessing. The 3 of you were just about as perfect as a family could be. Please help us watch over these strong women as they pick up the pieces and create a new puzzle together. We love you. Gerald &Tabitha
