He was a simple man who didn't need much to be content. He didn't care about materialistic items he knew the time spent together was much more important. Anyone who met him would agree you couldn't meet a more kind, big hearted, selfless man. Bobby had 11 Grandchildren. Hailey, Cole, Cailin, Madison, Reiley, Makayla, Cayden, Evan, Kendall, Aubrie, and Reagan. His youngest Grandchild was born 22 days after he died. They are mainly why I made this page. Im saddened my Daughters won't have memories with their Grandpa they will remember. I hope this page is one day filled with pictures, stories, memories, and everything about my Dad. I want my Daughters, Nieces, and Nephews to feel like through this page they knew Grandpa better and their memories they have of him won't fade away.
