I have fond memories of Bobby during all my years growing up in the Draper church. I remember most that he was so kind and he was a wonderful grandpa to Angela. He was a pillar of that church and a precious person; both of you are. I know he greeted many old friends and family when he got to Heaven! Praying for you and Angela and the grandchildren.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences. I believe the Lord will give you peace and comfort during your loss. Bobby was my supervisor at Pannill Knitting Mill in Martinsville during the early 1970's . I appreciate that he was a fair and upright man. I remembered how he was different in that he never was condescending or rude to any of the 2nd shift workers. He will be remember by me because he lived righteously even while he was at work. Thank God for him and may you and your family take comfort in knowing that Bobby practiced what Jesus taught. Blessing and peace to you all. Sincerely with my deepest sympathy, James Townsend. Corona , Ca. Born and raised in Martinsville, Va.
