My deepest sympathies to all the family. I met Bobby 5 years ago and he always was the one to make others laugh. My fondest memories will be of the three brothers at Christmas. When they all got together it was like going to a comedy club,,, those three could crack up the Pope! But, once again, he was definately a great brother, son and man. He will rest with the heavans.

I was so sorry to hear about Bobby's passing. I have some very fond childhood memories Jason Began, Bobby, and myself reaking havoc on the play ground at West Elkton Elementary. I moved away but came back in middle school and when I saw him again it was like nothing changed. My sincerest sympathies go out to his wife, son, and family.

Lost and dark are the words best to describe the depths of my soul. My body and mind remain. How it feels to lose the one person in your life that had the ability to make all things better. He is gone. I still wait for him to come home. But I guess he is in Heaven, his new home.
Kie Tyler and I will miss you till the end of eternity.
I pray to the heavens to dull the pain...and I am still waiting.
You will never be forgotten.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I have so many funny and good memories of Bobby. We were very good friends and even dated briefly in High School. He was a great guy and often talked about the Dad he never got to know, He`s getting to know him now, In Gods land. Bless all of his Family & Friends and prayers are with you in this time of sorrow.
