Goodbye dear classmate.

Good memories.

TO THE FAMILY:
BOB "RED DOG" WILLINGHAM WAS A GREAT FOOTBALL PLAYER AT VIGOR AND WAS AN OUTSTANDING SUPERVISOR AT IPCO. OUR PRAYERS ARE WITH THE FAMILY.

GOD BLESS,
JAMES HOOD, SEMMES, AL.

It is a sad day indeed to learn that Bob Willingham has passed away.  All of us, his family and friends, have lost a good man.  Those of us who played football and baseball with "Red Dog" know that he was a great teammate and a natural leader, who never took a backward step from his duties, either on or off the field.

Phil and Ren & family

So sorry to hear Red Dog passed away so many good memories and Phil and Ren our prayers will be with you to comfort you and we loved you and Dot and Bob. Allan had great time playing football at Vigor with him and Dot and I enjoyed our 52 class together

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

We are sorry to hear that "Red Dog" has died.  Vigor classes of '52 and '53 were very close.  Ira played football with Bobby and made lots of memories.  Our condolences to his family and friends.

I never met Mr. Willingham.  However, before high school, I went to early '50s Vigor football games at Prichard Park.  When I read his name, I readily recalled "Red Dog" was Vigor's first football star.  No doubt many from Vigor in the '50s have similar memories of him.

Sincere condolences,

Phil and family,  We go back over 45 years.  Extreamly sorry do see the passing of your Dad. Cleveland Rd. will never be the same.  Remember RA softball. Johnny Mcbride and family.

It is with sadness that I read of the passing of "Red Dog". In high school I don't think I ever heard him called Bobby. He was a great athelete & a all round good person.

In Christian concern and loving care, you were uplifted in prayer by The Mens Prayer Fellowship of Dauphin Way United Methodist Church.
