To Bob's family,
When I was a kid, living in the same area as you guys, we all picked at Bob and called him the "Mayor of Five Forks". He was always good to all of us boys and we all loved him. I remember how we used to try to get Bob to get on that old hot rod Dodge truck he had, and we would all get a big kick out of it when he did. I am so sorry to hear of his passing, he was a very Godly man and did much to lead others to Christ. I think I can speak for all of the "Five Forks Gang" when I say, Bob you will always be fondly remembered.
My Best Regards,
Mike Frazier
