Dr. Bobby was one-of-a-kind. Going into his office, was like stepping back into Mayberry. Caring, yes; But he was also a real cut-up. Great sense of humor. At the same time, he helped a lot of folks in pain--me included--and he always had a story to tell you about, well, anything. He will be truly missed by his patients and his friends. Peace be with his family, and thanks Dr. Bobby for all that you did to make people pain free on this earth. I trust that you are pain free now, and in the arms of the Lord.
