"Uncle Bobby" had a smile that lit up the room. He had such a kind heart and wonderful sense of humor . I loved listening to his stories. He really cared about people. I always looked forward to seeing him when I visited and he is missed.

There are some, who just by knowing them, enrich our lives and fill our hearts with the fondest of memories. Bobbi, as we always knew him, was one of those people. He was one of the kindest people. Generous of spirit, always a smile, a good word, and great stories. We loved him and he will be missed.
All my love and prayers for strength and comfort to the family. My heartfelt condolences to you all.

Please accept my heartful sympathy on Bobbies passing. He was such a pleasure to know. As you grieve just remember that absence from the body is presence with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Death is like a voyage, we leave the dock with mourners saying goodbye however, as we approach the dock, at the end of our journey, we see our Lord with his arms outstretched saying welcome home, welcome home.
