Every memory I have of my classmate are all good, he possessed a genuine quality of respect, and consideration with those he engaged with. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends, it is our loss and heavens gain. I’m so thankful to have known Bobby, a great guy but thankful also he no longer suffers, what a blessed hope.
May The LORD, comfort the hearts each of his family.
