I haven't seen Bob in along time but, when I was a waitress at the Cabin (before it became the Southfork Café) he was one of my favorites! So very sorry to hear of his passing.
Sorry for all the family and community. I worked for Bob when I was in college. He was a good man and a great leader in the little town of Salem. There needs to be more people in this world like Bob Graddy.
I will always remember sitting in the window at Graddy's sales with my daddy, Milt . I loved going down to see Bob. He was always so nice to me and always found cool things for me to play with. The Humphries family sends their condolences. Prayers for your family in your loss.
Bob was a great friend and supporter of our community during his years in Salem. Prayers for all of the family.
