Robert Young Jr.

Mr Young was my Band Directer from the time I was in 5th grade in Buchanan Elementary in 1981 until my graduation in 1988. I started out as a trumpet, then in Botetourt Intermediate Mr. Young asked that I switched to Baritone, then as a freshman at James River he asked me to switch to Tuba. Then for my sophomore year, he purchased a better tuba just for me. I enjoyed being his student. I found this obituary looking for him on the internet tonight. I wanted to call him up and say hello. I am deeply saddened to find that I am too late. We affectionately referred to him as 'Uncle Bob.' God bless you Uncle Bob. Rest in peace.

Tammy,
I was very sad to hear of Bob passing away. He was a joy to get to know. I will remember his laugh and always wanting to know when you were coming. He was a good man. He couldnt of ask for a better wife either. You were always there for him too. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Tammy and family,
I'm so sorry to hear about Bobby. Hope you understand why we could'nt come to the service. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I taught with Bob at James River High School back in the day. I have been the art teacher at James River since 1977 so we taught together and laughed together on many occasions. I can remember Bob having a laugh and just shaking his head with that smile about something that had happened at school. He just let it roll off his shoulders and go on! He was a great instrumentalist and the kids really loved him. We will miss him and my sympathy is with his family at this sad time.

I am so sorry to learn of your loss. I taught with Bob from 1996-2000 at Floyd County High School. I know this is a great loss for the entire community. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers!

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Tammy, Our thought are with you. We regret not being able to attend the service Thursday.

I was the drum major way back in the day (class of '79) at James River High School. So sorry for your loss. He truly had a gift for music and will be missed by many.
