Faye, We were so sad to learn that Bobby went to be with Jesus. We always enjoyed seeing both of you at the Country Club and at EBC...he was a true southern gentleman. May you find peace during this time of sorrow and know that we care.

It was our privilege to have met Bobby in the past year. That he was a fine Christian gentleman and animated by a kindly spirit was readily apparent. May the Lord welcome his faithful servant Bobby into his heavenly home and bless the Spake family and all those who love him. .
