I regret that I was unable to come pay my respects to Bobby Sparrow, one of the finer public servants I have known. I got to know him when I was political writer for The Courier-Journal and he was security for Gov. Brereton Jones, and I recognized him as a solid, reliable and sharp guy with good people skills but always a firm focus on the best course of action. I lost track of him in recent years but was not surprised to learn that he was a good mayor for Lawrenceburg. He will be missed.

I am so sorry to learn about Bobby's passing. He was a great guy. Ha gave me my driver's test at 16 years old. I thought the world of him. Although we didn't connect much, I knew he was there. We were cousins. Our grandfathers were brothers.
I am so sorry for the close family and friends. I know he will be greatly missed. May God comfort and strengthen your family during this difficult time.
