Dear Family: Mom & I were saddened to hear of Bobby's passing. Although it's been a number of years, we both have such fond memories (& remember the hard work) during those early tobacco farming years.
A devoted son who loved his brothers & sisters in his special way - He will be missed.

Dear Laughinghouse Family
Bobby was a sweet man I enjoyed knowing him while he stayed here at Carebridge. I'm glad I got to know him as well as I did, and I just want you to know how much he will be missed by me. I'm only signing my initials, but I think that Peggy and Nancy will know who I am.
Love,
M.Y.
