Bobby always had a smile, and a quick quip. I was always glad to see him when he picked up the dental cases. He was a very special person. Just know that now he is in a better place, with NO pain.

We will so miss our fishing buddy here on Woodbine Lake. He caught things when no one else could! We loved chatting with him along the shore and seeing that sweet smile and easy manner of his. We're glad we knew Bob.
