Having known Bobby since the 70s, when he was a purveyor for my husband who managed the bakery and restaurant at May-Cohens, I am deeply saddened by his death, but I have tremendous gratitude for having known him.  Rebecca lived at Taylor Manor, where I worked for 17 years, so I saw him as a loving and devoted son.   He took great care of the Manor as a purveyor who provided excellent service and took a great interest in our success.  His humor, wisdom and devotion to all he knew made him a prince among men.

Attended the beautiful memorial for Bob today. My Dear wife Vicki-lynne Gloger is saddened that she could not be present as she was tending to her last remaining 88 year old aunt in California. Vicki-lynne held great affection and respect for Bob and I only knowing him through my Rotary Andy visits so enjoyed his warmth and humor. Please know that we are holding you in our hearts and wishing you peace and comfort. Rod Hindman & Vicki-lynne

Thank you Mrs. Purser and Buz for sharing your husband and father with us. The impact he had on our life and the many lives of those connected with Heritage Paper Company was immense, the life lessons he taught ~ priceless!  We are privileged and blessed to have known and worked with him for the past 36 years and will continue to carry his legacy forward, he will never be forgotten.

For the past 50+ years, I've had the wonderful privilege of growing up close friends with Buz and being included in many Purser family occasions. I learned so much about life and the right way to live it from Mr. Purser. I will miss the Gator tailgates and "toddy's" he so masterly created.  Also his genteel nature and always positive outlook was a great inspiration to me.

Buz, 

Our thoughts are with you and your family at this time. Let me know if there is anything we can do for you.

I had the pleasure of knowing Bob through our business buying group, Network Services.  Though he was my dad's contemporary, I always enjoyed his company and very much appreciated his upbeat demeanor and outlook on life.  To me, Bob was the consummate southern gentleman.

I wish his entire family the best that can be under the circumstances of his loss.

Most sincerely, Larry Perkins

Bob was one of the good Gators that this Georgia Bulldog got to know in the Jacksonville Quarterback Club. His brother, Palmer, with whom I had some business was also a fine gentleman. Sorry to learn of Bob's passing.

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. Hard to express my feelings as this was my first job. So many good times and my introduction in the paper business. Thank you so much and my you rest in peace.

Artie Hardie and Nancy.

Dear Purser Family. Janice and I are saddened to hear of Bobby's passing. I was born in Brazil. There is an old adage. Family first, friends second. That was Bobby...he loved his family at home and at work with his son and grand daughter. I will treasure his friendship these past 35 years. Richard Bendetti

BOB what a kind and generous man and a dear friend I will always remember our conversations about the Masters and GATORS and HOWEY IN THE HILLS the TPC and your constant smiles when we meet again I look forward to playing 18 holes in glory with you
