Bobby was a favorite uncle when we were kids in WV. We remember how he always smiled and made time for us small nieces. He helped build a log playhouse that we loved. He showed us how to milk a cow. gather the eggs and feed the hounds. We shall miss his smile and sense of humor. Irene's girls, Marilyn and Anita
