Bobby was the quintessential Southern Gentleman. He always had a kind, encouraging and uplifting word. What a pleasure to be around, and he made the Baton Rouge community a better place to live and work. His love of life was contagious. RIP, Bobby, you will be dearly missed by many.

Bobby was a great guy that lived his life with great style and inimitable personality. He was a good friend and Brother since the 1960's. I had the opportunity to be a part of his later years when his health declined and he handled that with great dignity and courage. We will all miss him and wish Kathy and family the very best.
