Dad nothing is the same without you. Losing you has forever changed me. You will always be in our hearts. How I wish I could hug you, talk to you, hold your hand. We did not have enough time. I'm doing my best everyday to live a life that would make you proud. Everyone is living life as if nothing happened. But for those who have lost someone so precious you never look at anything the same. I really miss you Dad. love always, kimmi

Daddy, the pain of losing you hurts worse than anything I have ever experienced in my life. I can literally feel my heart breaking. I see your face every time I close my eyes. Mere words could never express how much I love you, and how much I will miss you. My dad was a great man; he didn’t judge anyone and he viewed people as equals. He had a sprit that was like no other. He loved my mom my brother my sister and I with all of his heart. He was a wonderful papa to his grandchildren. I will hold my daddy’s fighting spirit in my heart and soul for the rest of my life. I love you daddy with everything that I am. I know with all my heart that heaven rejoiced when my daddy was called home. Until we meet again, I love you daddy.

I've known Bobby for over 25 years and was always impressed with his dedication to his family and to his work. He was a gentleman with a keen sense of humor and strong spirituality. God love you, Bobby.
