I was in Bob's graduating class in high school. I played basketball and football with Bob and competed against him in fast pitch softball at West Liberty Lion's park. I have many memories of Bob in middle school and high school - all good. Glad to hear that Bob accepted Christ while in the hospital. Rest in peace, "BobbyJack".
