Sedley – Robert "Bobby" Jesse "Papa Ump" Dunlow, Jr., 76, passed away March 20, 2024 in East Pavilion. Bobby was a lifelong resident of Southampton County and was a son of the late Robert Jesse Dunlow, Sr. and Ellen Mae Turner Jones.

Bobby was a former Commissioner of the Southampton-Franklin Little League Football and former Junior Varsity and Varsity baseball coach at Franklin High School for several years.

He umpired teeball, coach pitch, boys baseball, girls softball, mens and womens softball and did it with grace, humor, and especially with love of the children.
Left to cherish his memory is his wife of 54 years, June Hundley Dunlow; two sons, Michael Dunlow and Rusty Dunlow and his wife Heather; one brother, Garry Dunlow and his wife Paige; two grandchildren, Alyssa Dunlow and Cameron Dunlow; a nephew, Dylan Dunlow and his wife Tiffany; a niece, Zoe Dunlow; a sister-in-law, Lynn Burgess and her husband Billy Wayne; a niece Sarah Cherry and her husband Ryan; a niece, Mary B.
