I worked with Bobby for many years at the telephone company. He was more than a boss, he was a caring friend to me. I could talk to him about personal problems and he would always listen and advize me the best he could. I loved that man for that.Bobby and Nancy came to my retirement party seven years ago. I thought that was very nice of them to do that. Bobby was not my supervisor, but anytime I ask him about a problem, he did not hesitate to help me. He was a man's man, kind hearted, gentle in his ways, funny, and always there for you. I will miss him very much and so will the community. Nancy, if I can do anything for you, let me know.
