I am so sorry to hear of Bobby's passing. I am a cousin of Bobby and Betty's. We probably have not seen each other since Uncle Carter passed away, but I always remember what a jokester Bobby was with me as a kid. I loved seeing him. He was a very special man. Thinking of you all. Sharon Haynes Lowman
