To the family: May the comfort from family and friends continue to strengthen you, and may you find comfort in the words found in the Holy Scriptures: "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.
The former things have passed away."

Bobby was the first guy I saw when I reported for my first day of duty, assigned to Jessie Goodwin's squad. He always had a smile, and good things to say about everyone. He will surely be missed by all who knew him, and if there is a front desk behind the Pearly Gates, Bobby will be working one of the shifts.

I am sorry to hear the loss of your father. He was such a wonderful man and I have run into several times over the years and he of course gave me the update on all of the kids and grandkids. He was so proud of his family. He always made me smile and I will miss him tremendously.

I knew Bobby from the Airport District on the Dept. and later at the store in the Villages. A guy that always had something good to say. Quite funny on occasions. He'll be missed I'm sure. To his kids, please accept our most sincere condolences.
