    My love and prayers to all of the friends and family. Bobbie was a good man and he was loved by many. He was always so good to me at a rough time in my life. Love you Bobbie

  3. Jeannie, Gary, Rick, and Kyle,

    Thank you for allowing me to participate in the special tribute to Bobby. I hope my comments didn’t detract. Your Dad has been as much a father to me as my own; as well as being a loyal friend, and adviser.

    I have a regret that I didn’t keep better track of him these last few years. Dad and him often came to my office to get me to go fishing. I went a couple of times, but more often than not I had some dead line I needed to meet and declined the offer. You know, I can’t remember what was so important, but I do remember the opportunity lost.

    I wish you all the best and extend the blessing of comfort at this time. It’s not a goodbye, but as he and I often said to each other, “So long, have a safe journey, and I’ll see you later.”

    As a brother I hope you find in me,

    All my Best,

    Alan Howell
