Condolences to Bobby's family. He was such a nice person. I enjoyed knowing him at St. James United Methodist Church, in the singles program. We all had a lot of fun at church and at our social events.
Sorry I could not attend the service. I know he will be greatly missed but fondly remembered by those who knew him.
