The Lutz family has made a big impact on our family over the years. That old farm house on Hamilton Rd. was one of my favorite places to visit when I was a kid. I knew of no other family that was so closely knit and had so much fun. One voice always sounded above the rest. That was Bobby's. He always had a joke or a crazy story to tell. He was a crowd magnet!

To the family, please accept my deepest sympathies on the loss of such a spirited man. This world will be a much different place without him. I'm sure he's up in that great place with his Dad and Butterball, telling jokes again!

With Love and Sympathy,

The Lutz family have always been a part of our lives. Our family used to watch Bobby race his dirtbike (which he did very well) when he was just a kid. His fight is over now, but he will be with his dad forever. Please accept my sincere grief, from someone who knows the void in your heart and the fond memories when you lose a great person.
With all our Love and prayers,
Debbie and the entire Lawson Family

Bobby,

I hope that you feel much better now and that you are happy where you are at. You will be remembered in our memories and we will carry on with your spirit along side us. We'll miss you though, but will laugh when stories of you are told - as the Lutz boys like to do. Take care buddy and spend some much-needed time with your father.

Bobby's Family,

I know it's been a long battle for Bobby and it's been tough on you and all of us. My thoughts of you are in my heart. Be strong but let us know if we can do anything for you.
