Praying for you guys. Your father was a true warrior. He was instrumental in molding me as a young Amn. I also had the honor to work with him as a Functional on the F-35 and the years we did he was always there to make sure we had what we needed to accomplish our tasks. Your father was known as a Legendary Weapons Maintainer and he will be missed.

Bobby was a credit to the Joint Strike Fighter Program in his role as an Air Force Ordnance Specialist. We did help him understand the difference regarding Navy & Marine Corps programs which he jokingly referred to as Stone Age programs. He was the go to expert in his field and a true patriot. We his friends will miss his low key wit and biting retorts. Be seeing you my friend

We are so sorry for all your losses. I worked with Bob for years at Hurlburt Field and remember seeing your little sweet faces. He was a great man, hard worker and loved his family… I loved his laughter. There are so many happy memories working aside this down to earth always joking sweet Alabama fan. I hope you can find comfort knowing he is in Gods arms smiling down on you with his wife and parents. Grieve for now but know you will one day smile at the memories.
Love to all, Lisa

Deepest condolences to you all. Worked with Bob from 2006-2008 and saw him around Eglin many times afterwards. He was definitely one of the best and always made good things happen both as a warfighter and for the warfighter afterwards. Please take comfort that he’s now in a better place.

I pray for strength and comfort for you all in the loss of such a great man. I served with Bob at Eglin and learned so much from him. I always admired his charismatic approach to all things no matter how difficult. He had a magnetic personality and people were drawn to him. I will always remember him cutting up keeping us laughing. Roll Tide Bob!

My deepest and warmest condolences to Bobby’s daughters and family. Bobby will be missed. But we know that he is at peace and in heaven with Jesus, Davina and loved ones. There’s no better place to be. I will always remember our bowling team Roadkill, we shared some great times.

Bob was a great co-worker at the 79th FS, weapons loading while we were at R.A.F. Upper Heyford. Went on several TDY’s together and were on the bowling team together getting 2nd place behind the SP’s. Many great memories. My condolences to his family and friends.
