So many memories of Bob. My late husband, Mike and Bob were at Ft. Benning, GA together and later served in the National Guard in Greenville. and Mike considered Bob to be one of his best friends Many times we stopped by WYFF on the nights Bob was there. How wonderful we serve a risen Lord that gives us  the promise of eternal life. Prayers for Dexter, Kim and their families.

I was sorry to hear about Bob's passing. Bob hired me at WYFF 34 years ago. I appreciate his gentle and kind spirit. I saw him last year and enjoyed spending time however, brief with him.
God bless you during these days.
