Lexyne and family, you had a wonderful husband and father. He was at Mom’s (Betty Holland) funeral Dec. 15th. We talked for a long time. He seemed to be in perfect health and was so proud of his children’s accomplishments and successes. He will be missed! Our prayers and thoughts are with you and the family at this time.
Lexyne and Family,
I am so sorry to hear about Bobby. My parents (Leon and Janice Mickle) always treasured your friendship. Bobby was so kind to me when I was a child growing up at FUMC, and I fondly remember his great smile. Your family is in our prayers.

Lexyne, Grace and Ron,
Bobby was a wonderful Christian man and will be so missed by all who knew him. He shared wonderful memories of my Mother at her memorial service just last month. His passing teaches us to live each day to the fullest as he did… with kindness and love for all he met.
May God’s love comfort you,

Dear Norris Family,
Although I did not know Bobby I heard my Dad (L.C.) speak of his friend while working at Cranston Print Works with him. I am so sorry for your loss.
We are soo sorry for the loss of Bobby. He will never be forgotten. He was a special person, always willing to step and do anything necessary. He was the best ‘bell groupie’ we ever had. I know God and his angels will be with you in the next few days/months/years to let you know he is having a grand time in heaven! Our prayers are with you.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Grace and family,
I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. I just lost my Dad unexpectedly on 1/30, so I know the heartbreak you are going through. I have so many great memories of spending time in your home when I was growing up. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Bobby will be so missed in the SilverSneakers classes he attended regularly at the gym. He always had a smile and seemed to enjoy working out and was quick with praise often saying, ‘that was a good’rn’. We will miss seeing him in ‘his spot’ in class, and we’re glad we got to know him. We wish to send our sympathy to all the family and friends who miss and love Bobby.
