I didn’t know Bobby personally but we had a lot of people in common. Tim, who loved Bobby very much, has been a friend of mine and Bill’s for years. Two of my sisters and my mom were also very fond of Bobby. Ella Sizemore, Billie Mongiovi and Kathy Wright. Then there is Jeremy Sizemore, who worked with Bobby for a while. So, even though I didn’t really have a relationship with him,(I had met him on one occasion)I feel like I knew him atleast a little. I am saddened by his death and I know that all of these people I mentioned and many more that I didn’t mention, will miss him terribly. He was loved by many. All of you will be in my prayers.
I met Bobby thru Tim and my sister Kathy.I had just moved back to the area after 25 years and it was made alot easier by the three of them. We shared alot of rummy and laughs. Bobby always made me feel welcome and a part of the group.He was and is a very special man. We will all miss you Bobby,and I know of one man who will mourn you for the rest of his life. Thank You for being the man you were. We love you much!
Matthew 6:19-21
Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Bobby was truly a caring, loving, unselfish person. He cared for all those around him and saw to there needs before his own. You, Bobby, have a lot of treasures stored up in heaven and I know you will be happy and enjoy eternal life. Those of us you leave behind can learn from your unselfishness and learn how to care for others by your example. Sometimes, some people give more than they have and I believe you were one of those, you gave with your whole heart and I hope that everyone will remember you for that. You didn’t give grudgingly, or expecting anything in return, and you did without things that you wanted and worried about everyone else. I wish I could’ve known you better but I think I know the most important thing and that is the kind heart you had. I pray that you now have peace and comfort without any more pain. Enjoy your rest, you deserve it.
And then someday, I’ll cross that river, I’ll fight life’s final war with pain, and then as death gives way to victory, I’ll see the lights of heaven and………I’ll know He lives. Because HE lives I can face tomorrow, Because He lives all fear is gone, Because I know HE holds the future, I can face uncertain days because HE lives.
I don’t know the future but I know who does and because I know, I can face tomorrow, if I am blessed with tomorrow. Each day is a gift from God. I hope and I pray that those of you mourning the loss of Bobby, will be blessed with many more days, but be ready as he was, just in case you don’t get tomorrow.
I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Bobby for a long time. I will dearly miss him.

Bobby was a friend to us in many ways. He helped with our company when we needed someone to move the homes for us. Our fondest memory of Bobby will always be when we had to move a mobile home to Charlotte, (Bobby moved it for us) and we had to set it up. We needed the money for our son’s eye surgery. Bobby stayed with us to help when he didn’t have to and probably had other things to do. We were there until 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning. Bobby was right there to help just like he was with everyone he knew. He was always ready to help others.
He’ll always be remembered as our daughter Kathy’s first crush. He will be missed greatly by all who knew him.
Connie & Christy
We knew your daddy very well and thought very highly of him. When he was around us he always had a smile and always talked about his girls. he was also very proud when the grandchildren came along. He will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
It’s hard to believe that you’re gone,
Hearts filled with sorrow,
Eyes filled with tears,
Minds filled with questions,
Memories rapidly appear.
So many lives were touched by you and your kindness,
Always trying to help others and lend a helping hand,
A caring and compassionate man,
Who never met a stranger,
A true, honest friend.
Your smile that brightened many days,
A laugh that chased gloom away,
Your face that always showed a rare tenderness,
All of these already missed.
The life you lived and willingly shared, Showed the kind of man you were,
A SPECIAL man who was all heart.
God has called you to come home,
You’re work on earth is through,
Our lives are better just from knowing you.
Written In Loving Memory of Bobby Minnish. Every one who knew you, loved you. You were a light to us all. You, your eyes and your smile will be missed always, but remembered always.
