Belton, TX Thursday, September 27, 2012 So many fond memories of Uncle Bobby and his always pleasant demeanor, easy smile and genuine interest in whatever it was we kids (back in the day) had to tell him.I loved riding in his treasured Bronco, but not much more than he loved taking us out in it. His positive influence touched the lives of many and his legacy is one in which his family can take great pride. We will miss him.
