Bobby was the best father a person could have. He make 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 for his family and worked overseas much of his life as a hard worker in the oil and gas industry.  

Bobby enjoyed hunting, fishing, watching horse races, and spending time with his family and friends.

Bobby and Frances were married for sixty-eight loving years. 

Bobby is now home with Jesus.
