Bobby loved life and lived it to the fullest. He was happiest on the golf course, eating a fabulous meal with a good glass of wine, and being with his children and Grands. I will miss our monthly dinners and talks of Auburn Football, the state of the country, or how the family is doing.
Bobby lived a great life, full of love.
I miss you and love you my friend.

Bobby was such a nice person to do business with.  I always felt so comfortable when I had an AC problem because I knew he could fix it.  I extend my sympathy to his family, employees and friends.

Bobby was one of my most interesting clients and a beloved friend.  He was full of stories and always a little mischievous.  He taught me how to play poker and cooked me I marvelous grilled tuna dinner with a blue Hawaiian. He was a good time waiting to happen. RIP Bobby!!! Peace to the family he loved so much!!    I will miss cutting his snow white hair And free air conditioner filters!
