So sorry for your loss. I know he will be truly missed. His personality would take over a room. He was never short on an opinion and would always let you know his. I guess that's one of those Marine
things. I hope you all can find some peace in the days to come and always know that there is another Marine on duty on the streets of Heaven. SEMPER FI . May you rest in peace. Tom and Rhonda Little

My heart goes out to his family and friends. My sister Hope and I have known Bobby for years. I went to school with Thomas his brother. I would see Bobby almost everywhere I went. He was super sweet! It is still hard for me to believe he is gone. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all! Sincerely, The Stowe Sisters.
