Bob and my Dad (Marlin Gee) worked together years ago in Pamoa. They had "Custom Tile and Tops", worked for Bill Ballard, and they also laid all the floors for TG&Y stores in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Colorado. I have great memories of him. A real hoot. A good man,
Prayers for the family.

Nelda, Mike, Bobbie Gail and family, Thresa and I are deeply saddened by the passing of Bobby. I remember him as a fun loving caring person. His model airplanes always amazed me as a child. I also remember how much he loved flying with my Dad J.Q. in the old tripacer. Many good memories at the lake too. We will be lifting you all in prayer and will see you next Saturday during his celebration of life service. Love to you all.

He was the best friend anyone could hope to have. He definitely was the best role model I had growing up. The trouble or good times that he and his brother seemed to attach themselves to could fill a book. He was an outstanding son, husband, father, pilot, fisherman, entrepreneur, craftsman and and jack of all trades ( he even managed to master a few of them). He will forever reside in my heart and mind and I look forward to the day we meet again.
