Ashley,
I’m so sorry for your loss. You dad was always kind and nice to me. We had some fun and laughs. He also kept me from jumping into a lagoon with alligators when this huge swarm of “blind mosquitoes” came after me.

Will always remember the crazy days in Florida way back when the 3 of us rode together. Good times with my hubby Fossil and Bobby. Rest in Peace my friend. Now you and Fossil can ride the Harleys in heaven! S S B was our signature and I’m the last S left.

Hey Ashley,
I am really sad and sorry about your dad. Truthfully, I have very few memories of him. But, the ones I do have are fun and funny, and really good. I know that he loved you so very much and he was lucky and grateful to have you with him. You were a blessing to him and I am glad for that. Thank you for taking care of my Uncle Bobby and know that even though we are far apart, I am thinking of you and will be here if you need anything. Anytime and always.

Ashley,
I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. Bobby and I were good freinds growing up. We shared a lot of laughs and some tears together. He was someone I could count on at any time, day or night. We also shared in life a lot of things most people do not get to do. Although we were not in touch in quite a few years he was always in my heart and on my mind. He will be missed. Know that you and your family will be in my Prayers as will Bobby. May he Rest in Peace.
Stevie Burns says
Sending love. I know there are no words to make this okay, but we can find comfort in the fact that he is in a better place and free of pain. I really didn’t know Uncle Bobby, but I do know how much he loved you, Ashley. You were always the light of his life.
