Rest in peace Bobbie. You were a wonderful and decent man. It was such a pleasure do know you as a person for close to 40 years. We shared some good times and conversations together. You were always so helpful and accomodating in servicing my vehicles over the years. Honest and trustworthy and always with that great smile. God bless.
