So sorry, I was out of town and did not know that Bobby had passed away. A kind, friendly, joyful person. He will be missed. Judy Monahan

Our deepest sympathy to the family. We went to school with Bobby in our earlier years and lived in the same community. We were playmates in the neighborhood of Nola, VA where his grandmother was the Postmistress. Good memories. Ruth is a cousin by marriage to Joe. We are thinking of you. Reggie Fulcher and Jane Shively Fulcher
