Bobby was such a great person. He was a faithful member at Calvary Baptist Church and he and Bert Ingle did so much around the church in repairs and building sets for VBS. So sorry for his loss.
Paul and I are sorry to hear of your dads passing. We hold you and your family up in prayer.
Paul and Michell Tervo
Diane, Tim and family,
We are so very, very sorry to learn of your dads passing. His love and devotion to God, his family and his church were always demonstrated in his daily life. Our prayer is that God places His loving arms around each of you and gives you His comfort and peace and that you each feel His love surrounding you.
Love, Jeff & Donna
Mr Moffitt was a very kind, honest and considerate man. I always admired his decades of advocacy on behalf of his son, Daryl, and others on the autism spectrum. Thank you Mr Moffitt, you made a difference.
Prayers for you and the family as you gather to celebrate Bobby’s life. I’m thankful for knowing him and for all of his help with the program at Herring School. He was always willing to help any way he could. He so loved his Lord, his family, and extended that love everywhere he went. Praying for God’s comfort and peace. Bill Walker
Bobby was such an endearing friend of ours over the years. We support and love all of you. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your lives and his. There are many memories that have been wrapped around our minds and hearts that we will cherish forever. Tim and Diane, you took very good care of your father. He always bragged on that. Please let us know if we can ever support you in any way. We ask that God embraces you today and years forward.
With Sympathy and Love,
Butch and Pat Stillwell

Sorry to hear of Bobby’s death. Thoughts and prays for the family.
Bobby was such a great man that came into my life at just the right time. So talented and such a big heart. He was a “do-er” and never afraid of hard work. Most importantly, he made Mom happy and loved.
Tim & Philip Lindsey send condolences, thoughts and prayers. Mom and Dad (George and Wilma) had so many fond memories with Bobby (and Dorcas). Know that you are in thoughts and prayers of many.
Dear Diane,
Our thoughts & prayers are with you during this difficult time.
We love you, Edgar, Leshea & Family
