Big Bob was my brother and one of the best guys you could ever meet. He would give you the shirt off of his back if you needed it. He was such a fun loving, good man, who always made sure our family members were taken care of. We loved him dearly and we knew he loved all of us. We had so many good, fun loving times with fish frys and cook outs and lots of friends and family times. He used to love to laugh and he was so fun to be with. We are a very close family and we are all going to miss him terribly. I am so glad We have so many good memories. We love you Big Bob and my heart is broken, but heaven is getting another one of the best!!! ❤❤ All my Love your baby sister, Carol Sue

I’m so sorry to hear of Bobby’s passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to Wanda and the whole family. I had the pleasure of working with Bobby at the old Blue Crystal water office, when my father had the business. He was one of my dad’s favorite drivers and brightened up the office with his great personality.
