I'll always remember all the car shows we got to go to. And the proud feeling my uncle Bobby had for every car he built.  He always was the first person to offer help to anyone.  He's a great man and I will always miss him.

I had the pleasure to know Bobby many years ago at Ameco. He was always so sweet and friendly to me. I would always run into him in the break room with Blaine Price and the two of them was always up to something.  Wish I could have worked with him in the Service Department when he was here, but I do have the pleasure to work with Keith now. I know Bobby was loved my his family and will be praying for you all over the next few months.

Edna, Keith, and Mark the world has lost another truly good man. I know Uncle Bobby is in a better place with my Dad, Lucy and Grandpa and Grandma. But here on earth we suffer at losing him. I'm very sorry for for the pain you are feeling and only hope you and your family can comfort each other. I will always have a special place in my heart for Uncle Bobby.

Mrs. Edna, Keith, Mark and family. I was sorry to hear of Bobby's passing. I spent many years knowing Bobby while working at American Equipment Company. He was an awesome employee and a great mentor to those he worked with. He made a positive impact on everyone who engaged with him. Being a car enthusiast  myself at times I would speak with Bobby and seek out his advice and without hesitation he would always be willing to assist. He will be missed by but his influence on us all will continue to go on. May God grant you peace in the days to come.
