I learned from Joyce and Robin what a wonderful close-knit family you have and that each member is so close and entertwined with the others. I learned from you that Bobby was a wonderful son, nephew, uncle and cousin; but most important that he was a loving and devoted father very much involved in the lives of his beloved daughters. You will forever miss Bobby, but you will find comfort in your love for each other, and especially in your love for his daughters, and you will find peace in the knowledge that Bobby is with God. God Bless each of you. Sincerely, Carrol and Dick Nagers

I know at times like this we don't understand why our loved ones are called home so suddenly. But we must lean not unto your own understanding and put our trust in the Lord. To be absent in the body is to be present with the Lord. I felt like I knew Bobby. My co-worker, Robin would always speak of Bobby and his girls, Samantha and Brittany. I know he was a wonderful person and I wish I had the opportunity to have met him. I will continue to keep your family in my prayers. God Bless

It still seems like yesterday that myself, Bobby, Dennis, Jimbo, Matt and Tamara were playing together at Wayson's Trailer Park. It's unfortunate though that it takes a tragedy such a Bobby Jr,'s passing to bring together old friends. I never took the time to thank you for all that you did to assist me and the family while my mother was sick. I appreciate all that you did. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts through this difficult time. Bobby is in a much better place now and you will see him again one day. Bless you!
