August 27, 2012 at 12:00 amMy thoughts and prayers are with your family. I knew Bobby my whole life through my aunt, Annie Bell, and used to enjoy seeing him when I was a child. Unfortunately, life gets in the way and I had not seen him in several years. He was a nice man and I am sorry for your loss.
