Our condolences to the family, as you mourn the passing of this wonderful man. We were truly blessed to have known him through The Journeymen, and to have been able to hear that wonderful voice singing praise to our Lord on many occasions. Bob was a big man, with a big voice, and a heart bigger than both. All of us who heard him sing and met him will remember forever the inspiration and joy he brought with him, and wish to thank his family for making it possible for Bob to have spent the time away from you that he used to travel and spread the Lord's messages through his unforgettable music. Our hearts and spirits will be forever touched by his music, his humor, and his smiles. We pray that all of us may continue to live our lives in dedication to our Lord, so we may one day join on high to once again hear Bob and enjoy with him the praise and fellowship of Heaven's Choir.

Jeanette and family,
Please know that I am thinking of you in a very special way. Bob was the big brother that I needed at times and his warm smile and gentle heart will remain in my memory book. Oh what a choir up there.
Please know that I would have been there if I could have.
With All MY Heart,
Susan

To Bobby's family: I am a nurse and worked for one of his physicians. He always made me laugh even when I knew he did'nt feel good.. He was truly a blessing to people he came in contact with. May God be with you all as you travel this journey, but rest in the fact that he is home now and free of pain and that some day there will be a grand REUNION in HEAVEN. May God bless all of you.
