I am sorry to hear that Coach Bobbitt passed away. He was such a kind and generous man. He was my gym coach in Jr. High, my driver's ed instructor, and my homeroom teacher in high school. He always had time to talk about anything. I graduated in 1987. He encouraged us to follow our dreams and we could do great things. He is one of the reasons I had the confidence to leave my home and family and move to Africa and work as a volunteer with children living in extreme poverty. We were just talking about him a couple of days ago and how he made a differance in so many lives. Rest in peace dear man. You will be greatly missed.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Coach Bobbitt. He had a calling of being a great teacher and coach. He was my basketball coach at Chance-Loeb Jr. High School 7th - 9th grade. He also taught me history and made it "come alive" for our classes. You see, I was not a fan of history. But Coach Bobbitt would sit on the edge of his desk and tell us the history story for the days teaching. It was as if Coach Bobbitt gave us a ringside seat at the historical event. He was the best history teacher I ever had. Bobbitt Family, please know that I am praying for you and I know we will see him in Heaven. He loved The Lord and lived his life accordingly. God Bless You all, Barbara McDaniel

So sad to hear of Coach Bobbitt's passing. He taught me history and was one of the first Lumberton coaches. But more importantly, I just enjoyed being around him and listening to his opinions on everyday things. RIP Coach and condolences to the Bobbitt family.

My sincere condolences to the entire Bobbitt family. I remember Coach Bobbitt as my history teacher, driver's education instructor, and then seeing him many years later as a full-time substitute teacher for LISD. I posted about his passing on my Facebook page and so many have shared such kind and complimentary remarks and also fond personal memories of having Coach Bobbitt as a teacher and friend. Please feel free to 'friend me' on Facebook so that you can log onto my Facebook page and be comforted during your time of loss by so many kind words shared about Coach Bobbitt...your husband, Father, and Grandfather. He surely touched many lives as an educator. Sincerely, Laurie Abercrombie Thomas (LHS Class of '74)
