I meet Bob several yeas ago. I grew to consider Bob as a good friend. I got to have some wonderful conversations with him.

Seems like we talked about everything under the sun. But, our most important talks were about Jesus. And I was so glad when he

accepted Jesus as his Lord and saviour. He will be greatly missed.

I had the honor of meeting Bob several years ago. We all went out to breakfast together and was able to visit on several occassions.

I really did enjoy our conversations with him. One of the happiest days was when I found out that he had accepted the Jesus as his saviour.

Jean, my heart goes out to you and your family. Even though nothing can fully erase the pain and sadness of parting with a love one,

what a comfort it is to know that we can always truly rely upon the care and love of Jesus Christ. I don't have any words that will take

away the sorrow you and your family are going through, but I want you to know that I care. We go back to so many years knowing

Bobby and your family as they were growing up. All the years that Mike and him worked together at GA Pacific.

May there be peace for you and your family knowing he is no longer suffering, but walking with Jesus in heaven. I am praying for

all of you as God walks you through these hours of sorrow. I love you and if there is anything I can do to help, please call.
Love, Evelyn & Mike Feagin

Bobby was a very special guy with a way of making you laugh when you didn't really feel like it. I bowled with him for several years and we

ALWAYS had a good time whether we won or lost. I feel I was blessed to have known him and to be a friend. GOD bless you Jean and family.
