Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this sad time. I’d like you to know how sorry we are, but, at the same time I am so glad we were able to meet with Bobby and Barb at the family reunion and their home in 2014. To find cousins on my father’s side of the family after all these years was exciting for me and I so enjoyed my visit with Barb and Bobby. He will be sorely missed by us all. You have our sympathy and condolences.

I’m so very sorry for your loss. I never met him but I know from the wonderful daughter he raised that he was a good man, husband and father and was well loved. Praying for peace and comfort for the family.

We were so sad to hear of Bobby’s passing. He and Barb were wonderful neighbors. I know they are both in a better place, but we hate they had to go. Our sincere sympathies to the family.
