In my younger years, I can remember him wearing those dark sunglasses always thought that was neat as a kid, remember many times staying at your house on Christmas eve, hearing so many stories of you and my dad as you grow up from my dad. Rest in peace I know you will be greatly missed but know your body is perfect and you are walking those streets of gold with your brother my dad Wayne. Prayers for the family as you go through the time of your loss May you seek peace, comfort by his memories and God. Jackie
Verline,
Prayers for you & your family.
Many happy memories of our years together.
God bless.
Bobby was a great brother and wonderful son to our parents! He helped us so much by fixing things and just stopping by to visit with them. Mama said the hardest thing she ever did was stop calling him Bobby Joe when Bobby Jr. was born!(once in awhile she still called him Bobby Joe) He was my hospital buddy when Daddy had to go to the hospital in the middle of the night! When Mama had her stroke he either stayed with her while I went to get what was needed or he picked up her medicine. I know he helped others & that’s what made him a wonderful friend to so many people. I will treasure the memories that we made with Bobby until we are once again together with our family!
