We all need a time to grieve-quiet time for reflection to sift through memories and come to grips with what has happened. We all need a time for tears, not for the one who is now at peace in heaven, but for ourselves as we realize that things will never be the same. We all need a time to just "be", when we can open ourselves to God and let the ressurance of His everlasting love start to heal our broken hearts. Bobby is with our father, mother,brother,sister and a host of other relatives that loved him as much as we did. Big Brother, Baby Sister will see you on the other side.

Our hearts were saddened to hear of the passing of Bobby, who has walked this way and has touched many lives in his family as well as the Pontiac community.
A few words cannot tell the story about his character; the love that he had for his family; and the compassion that he had for others.
He will be sorely missed; but not forgotten.
We loved him; but God loved him best.
Sorrowfully submitted,
Melvin Lucas and Family

To Auntie Fran and my cousins, I love you all and my thoughts and prayers are with you. To my dear uncle Bobby, I will never forget going to the ball parks, spending time with Fee Fee ( while being tortured by Lisa LOL)at your house and you taking us to get ice cream but I mostly remember the times you visited us in Atlanta when we first moved. You would ride your motor cycle all the way from Michigan and I could never understand how but when I saw how decked out your bike was and having rode with you so many times, I then understood why. I will truly miss you and will forever love you and remeber you. I will miss you saying "Come her gal and give Uncle Bobby a kiss". Kiss Grandmother and my best friend Auntie Gloria for me for they are happy to have you with them. You will be missed but go ago and get your rest and I will see you again someday. Again Fee Fee, Lisa, Angie, Robert and Nick, I love you all and just know that God will not bring you to anything that He won't see you through.

To Aunt Fran, Angie, Lisa, Rob, FeeFee, and Nick.... You are in our thoughts and prayers. The time him and I spent in ATL back in 2000 was memorable. We went looking for softball equipment- LOL. He shared alot w/ me... I use those same wise sediments today. Him, Grandmother, Aunt Lillie Mae, Uncle J. Harris are playing cards in Heaven. LOL! Grandmother saved a seat for him! He will be deeply missed! Keep your heads up (Psalm 121).

Heyyy gal! Those are the 2 words that my uncle Bobby ALWAYS greeted me with. The lost of a love one is extremely hard to deal with but I know my heavenly father will give me the strength I need. Not only for me but for my family. I pray that my family will continue to pray and love as God continues to bless each and every one of us. I love you uncle Bobby and you are deeply missed but you are truly loved. Rest in Glory
