  2. So sorry to see this about Bobby. My condolences go out to all the family. I know it is so hard to lose someone.

  3. My deepest sympathy to you all. I enjoyed talking with Bobby out at the Railroad. We traded cowboy stories and train stories while he worked on the Dinkies. I would repair the track damage from the derailments. A lot of them back then. Bobby was a tough ole Boy. He never missed a day of work because of snow. He would clean the road out to the main road before work. I witnessed him load a gooseneck trailer with hay to the brim all by himself. I want to Thank Bobby for being my friend and making me feel special. May God Bless and comfort you during this difficult time.

  4. Our deepest condolences go out to you, Edith, and the families of Bobby Robinson. Bobby was a very special man to many. As stated he knew no strangers.
