I'm very sorry to hear that Bobbie has passed away. We were cousins, and in our younger years, and some of our later ones, we saw each other and enjoyed our "cousin-ship." I remember vividly when he, his parents, and brothers, would stop at our house in Vermont for overnights on their way to and from the farm. We also shared an interest in our Great Grandfather Aquilla's service in the Civil War. Condolences to the family. Rest in peace.

I had the pleasure of meeting Bob at the Barn Yard Santuary and what a hard working, caring man towards the animals. He always greeted me with a polite Good Day or a wave. He will be sadly missed for sure as Tamala’s right hand and the animals he feed. I’m sorry for your loss. May your memories help you at this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Margie Kelly
