Bob "Bobby" and I were very close as most of our cousins were "very close" to each other.  We were both born in 1936.  Bob and I didn't live in Shiloh as most of our cousins did so we didn't see  each other very often.  However, my family visited every summer and I loved seeing and playing with cousins.  Bobby was  fun loving, kind, and Christian.  He was loved by all of us and we have missed him dearly!  He and his family - Aunt Lucille & Uncle Lawrence, Betty and Bob came to Texas to be in my wedding in 1956. What a wonderful family!  My mother had just died the Year before so Aunt Lucille took over and helped.  I have such good memories of them.  I know all of you have missed him too!  Joyce

Bobby and I were the same age so we saw a lot of each other when we visited Shiloh or when they came to Texas. He was in my wedding in 1956.  We were with our parents when they drove to Dell City (near El Paso) when we were 2 years old in 1938!!  Visited Dolly & Irvin Franklin who had moved from Alabama, Bobby and Minnie  lived in Plainview, Tx for a few years where Bobby was Music Minister for Waylon College. RIP BOBBY🥰

Deepest sympathy and prayers for  all of you. I remember Bob being a quiet, sweet  cousin. He always  had a ready smile for everyone. I know you will miss him, but he is in heaven now with a reunion we can only hope for.  No more pain  or tears.  

Prayers and condolences for the family. 
John, Jayne, Cooper, and Kayla

Bob and I worked together at First Baptist Church in Demopolis for several years, and he was always kind, helpful and considerate, and a fine musician. I am so blessed that God allowed our paths to cross and greatly appreciate his friendship.

Bobby was one of my favorite cousins.whenever we would visit he would spend time with me as a kid even though he was 11 years older than me. He was a mirror of his mother and dad; patience, compassionate. Uncle Lawrence and aunt Lucille were all ways very proud of him. Once on a visit to his parents in Shiloh, uncle Lawrence had him digging fence post holes and he said he realized what his PHD stood for..... “Post Hole Digger”!
