I am very sad to learn of Bobby's passing. He and I were close friends and classmates at Virgie High School. Bobby always had a good attitude and a good sense of humor. He was well liked and respected by all who knew him. Steve Tackett (Greenup, Ky.)

I first met Bob back in 98-99. Over the years I've seen his love of family and work. He loved to work but always made time for his family. I am very glad to have had the opportunity to get to know him and he will be missed very much. Rest in peace Bob. We love you.
