Bobby was one of the greatest people ive ever met.He was competitive by nature and used it to bring out the best in whatever situation he was in.He taught me more about life than anyone i ever came in contact with in my 54 yrs of life. He and his life long wife Jean were the greatest example of parents ive ever known loved their kids and would do anything for them and with them.He loved life and enjoyed every day with enthusiasm.I will graciously carry his memory in my heart and am glad to know him and his family.
I’m so sorry Tammy! My prayers are with y’all!!
