He loved his work family, his weekly coffee group, and griping about Ma Bell. He loved his kids, grandkids, brother & sister, cooking, canning, gardening, and a good BBQ or fish fry with his kids and all their friends. He worked hard and provided well for his family. He loved his beloved mountain property and his friends in Chester. He loved fishing, hunting, Razorback Football & Basketball, and above all else – Baseball. Bobby coached youth baseball and football for years. He touched many young men's lives through his coaching and cheering. Probably the best day of his baseball life was the day his Tigers Bambino team beat the mighty Royals. He served as a Vice President of Rogers Little League and Babe Ruth League. He always had a twinkle in his beautiful blue eyes. His death leaves a huge hole in our heart. He is irreplaceable. Bobby would want everyone to know that tomorrow is not promised, today is all we have, yesterday is forever gone. So if you want to do something, do it. If you love someone, tell them.
