Indian Harbour Beach, FL Wednesday, August 7, 2024 Bobby went way beyond in helping everyone at CL. He was so reliable if we needed anything done. He would trim the trees so we could get the rv down the road. When my shrubs died that cold winter he showed up with that tractor and a chain and pulled them up like pulling a kids tooth. He could do just about everything. Wish we could be there to celebrate his life. It is worth a big celebration!Margie Mize
Greenville, TX Wednesday, August 7, 2024 Bobby was so loved by all who knew him and will be greatly missed. I never saw him when he wasn't interested in your conversation, If you were okay, did you need anything, what can I help you with, etc. Club Lake Loved him as did many other Friends. We will miss him.Joel Kay
Greenville, TX Wednesday, August 7, 2024 I am so sorry for your loss. Bobby was a fine fellow. I was a co-worker at Lance, and drove partners with him some when his regular partner was on vacation or sick. I always enjoyed working with him, he was always very entertaining on the long trips to Chicago, and various other places. He was a very hard worker, and always did his fair share. I will miss him.Carol Reynolds Smith

Dallas, TX Wednesday, August 7, 2024 Bobby & Family -There’s nothing I enjoyed more than Bobby receiving me at the Club Lake pump, him coming to meet me after buzzing the button to help us with boat gas or calling to tell me my boat was floating on the other side of the lake and I need to come fetch it. The simple - easy - about nothing but about everything conversations I’ll always cherish. Godspeed amigo!
