My mama, Mae Ayers, had worked with Bob for many years at Amp. I had heard mama speak of Bob and Sue often. Things they would get together and do. At one time i was having trouble with a washing machine andcwas telling mama. She said let me call Bob and see if he can come take a look at it as he had done for things like that for her. Bob called, at that time it was on my house phone, and we set up a time for him to come and gave him directions. He fixed it for me with no problems. I never saw or heard anything abiout them after mama passed away. Then about a year ago my home phone rings and when i looked at caller id it said Bob Blevins, so i answered. Hello. Is there a Debby lives there. I laughed and i said yes Bob, this is Debby. He said, well i was going through my old phone book and saw your name and number beside Mae Ayers. I replied yes i am her daughter. You came to my house in Rural Hall to fix my washer years ago. Oh, i remember you live so and so. Yes, and i still do. Since then i have thoroughly enjoyed our long phone talks about once a week. We got together at Ccracker barrel and at Coronet seafood. We talked about everything. He would often say, i dont think i have ever known anyone who has done and knows how to do so many different things. I have always been DIY. I have even fixed my own washing machine since then. I make wreaths and gnomes and have many hobbies and interest. When he saw my wreaths he had to have one and during my last big wreath making times i asked him which one he liked the most and he picked out a red cardinal wreath but he wanted more lights so i put on an extra strand. Then he asked how long do these lights last. They last a long time Bob. Then we got together to eat right at veterans day i think and i carried him one of my red, white and blue holiday gnomes. I came up with my own pattern in which i use a plastic jar for the body and fill with candy before i give or sell. He had only seen a picture of until then andvhe was grinning from ear to earn i raise my own garden and fruits at my house so we talked constantly during summer about that. I would carry him some of the food i would cook or some of my fruits i grow from time to time. He always said i knew since you do so much that you were a good cook. Really made me feel good about myself and the life i have lived. I lost a daughter to covid in 2021 as he had lost a daughter years ago. We talked about God and the signs we see in the world today. I want you to know he only came back in my life about a year ago but we both had very fond memories. He loved my muscadine jelly and memories of muscadines in his younger years. He will be surely missed.
