What a guy! We had the privilege to live next door to Bobby and Brenda for the last several years. Great neighbor to have. We will truly miss him. See you on the other side dear friend.
Praying for you all.. just heard the new of Bobby’s passing. I know he is with his savior… but the world is a sadder place without him here. God bless you all
I had the pleasure of cutting Mr. Bobby’s hair every 5 weeks for the past 4 years. He was such a kind, loving and compassionate man. He several times shed tears in my chair while sharing his love of Christ with me. He was very passionate when it came to the word of God. He qouted scripture every time and always gave me words of encouragement! He always gave me a friendly hug before he left. I was so sorry to hear the news of his passing, however my heart can be at ease cause I know that he is with our savior.
I feel privileged to have been able to cut his hair for all these years.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
