To Bob's family. I knew Bob for a very short time but what a sweet man. He was kind and friendly with everyone he met. I'm just sorry he is not around to make us laugh anymore. My favorite story was about his first rock concert with his Dad and a bucket of chicken. My heart goes out to you all.

Bob and Carol,

My thoughts are with the two of you. Thank you so much for bringing Robert into this world. He truly blessed everyone's life that he entered. I am eternally grateful and will always cherish the time I was allowed to have him in my life and in the lives of my two sons. I love you both and consider you both as part of our family.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Bailey and Ann,

I attended Tidewater from 1972 to 1978. I'm really shocked after reading about Bobby's death in the paper. I'm so very sorry for your loss. He was a very nice guy and my heart goes out to you all and Bobby's wife and children. You're in my prayers. God bless you all.
