Bobby was the best father a person could have. He makes any young child stop crying. He was the baby Whisperer. He was a devoted father and husband to his wife and family. He dedicated his life to his family and work overseas much of his life as a hard worker in the oil and gas industry. Bobby enjoyed hunting, fishing, and spending time with his family and friends.
Bobby and Frances were married for sixty-eight loving years. Bobby is now home with Jesus.
