Bobby's door

It was the start of my second week at Alderson Auto Group. I was the one standing on the other side of the door when Bobby used a Subaru to shove a BMW through the garage door and I thought I was gonna end up under it. Bobby also officiated Carrie and my wedding May 1st, 2009. We still think of you Bobby and you'll be missed.

I worked with Bobby for many years at Alderson. He was such a sweet and caring man. They don't make them like him anymore.

So sad to hear that Bobby has left us. He was a very happy Christian and wonderful to be with. My wife and I lived behind Bobby and next door to Rob in Ransom Canyon during the 1990's and enjoyed his company and wit for those years. We also enjoyed staying in his cabin in Ruidoso. I also knew Bobby during his years as owner of State Heating and A/C as we shared a common interest in the HVAC business. He was proud of his company and his employees and was a solid, honest businessman. He will be missed. All the best to his family. Remember all the happy memories he left all of us.
