It’s hard to think that we will never see Uncle Bobby again here on earth but I know we will see him in Heaven some sweet day!
Dear June and family, I am so sorry to learn of your loss. You may remember that I used to work for Rachal and Jenny years ago. I have thought of you and Bobby through the years and I always remembered how very close you two were. It was so obvious that you really loved each other. God will be there for you all the way.
You will be in my prayers. Linda {Wise} Wilson

Aunt June and family,
I will always be greatful for having Uncle Bobby in my life.You all were such a blessing when my own father passed away back in ’76.I shant ever forget all the help given to my own family by yours then.I have always felt as if you were my own family.Thank you for that.One of the things I most remember about Uncle Bobby was his smile.He always had a smile on his face regardless of the amount of pain that he was enduring.I am so sorry for the pain in which you go thru now.But he isn’t suffering anymore and for that I am greatful.May God bless and keep you all during these passing days.

Bobby was one of my favorite customers at Star Lanes. My daughter and Ashley used to bowl together on the youth league and we would keep each other up to date on what they were doing. He will be greatly missed.
We are sorry for your loss. It is hard to let someone you love go, but where he is now, there will be no more pain or sickness.
We love you all and are praying for you during this time.
Uncle Bobby was always there with a smiling face and an open heart. We have lost a friend but gained a true guardian angel.
KEEPING YOUR FAMILY IN MY PRAYERS
