Marilyn & Bobby: We are sorry for your loss, but sometimes it is a blessing for God to take someone on home. He is no longer in pain or suffering. May God give you the strength you need for the days ahead.

My life was ceertainly bless by the life of Bro. Bob. He and I enjoyed so many wonderful times together. The most memorable time was that Sunday morning at Calvary Baptist Church, when I gave the invitation and Bob came forward and gave his soul to Christ. It was so good to visit him recently in his home and journey back through the years and to listen once again to his experience of grace.
Marylin you and Bobby are in my prayers.
Bro. Ken

I grew up with Bobby Jr., knowing the Turney family. I remember Bob's great personality and loving to cut up, always giving Bobby and his friends a hard time:) He was an amazing soul, husband, father, and friend, and he will deeply be missed by all whose lives he touched. My family's thoughts and prayers go out to their family during this loss. Our love, the Kelly and Harris Family
