Bobby, you e always been the life of the party. I a lone with many others are going to truly miss you. I remember when I first met you you were very intimidating, and I found out that you were only being you. I learned there was you wouldn't do for a person if you could. Continue to take your rest now. I'll never forget you and all the memories we shared as friends . Thanks your rest now in the arms of our Lord and Savior now. Love always Tammy .. big girl as you always called me .
