A very dear friend who you could always count on. Mr Bobby go rest high on that mountain Heaven just got a little more beautiful
Jimmy and family, so sorry for your loss. Your dad served the community of South Hill with grace and kindness. His work was so instrumental in the major events of so many lives.
We miss Bob singing with us and will never forget his solo. No One Ever Cared for Me Like Jesus. What a blessing to know he’s now resting in His care and no longer suffering. Our love and prayers to Janice and all the family.

I feel sure Al Smith is meeting Bobby at the pearly gates for their morning argument that Bobby has been missing for several years now.
Bob was a dear man, always had a smile on his face. Prayers for the whole family✝️
Sorry to hear this. Condolences and prayers for the family.
Love of Music
Bob and I became friends at Pine View Assisted Living where I played piano periodically to entertain the residents. Bob sang and danced during some of those fun times and he really was a fine entertainer. I thoroughly enjoyed being around Bob. He was always so cheerful and supportive. I will miss him greatly and the community has lost a memorable citizen. Rest in peace, Bob. Condolences to his family. RW
To Jimmy, Billy and the entire family, I would like to express my condolences. I have known your Dad since he was an employee at Mack’s 5&10 where he was always willing to help us kids with our shopping. He was a very nice man and will be remembered fondly by all who knew him.
So sorry for your loss. Your family is in my prayers.
My sincere condolences to all the family.
I’m very grateful for the opportunity I had to
sing with him at Church.

So sorry for your loss, Mr.Bob was such a sweetheart and his former Warsaw Community will miss him.
He will be missed. It was a pleasure to know him even if only for a short time. I loved his colorful wardrobe and his beautiful voice. Our condolences to all of his family.
