He was kind, loving and generous to everyone he met. He was a great listener, and someone you enjoyed conversing with. Bobby loved music, playing the drums and watching football, especially the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Longhorns. He had an interest in race cars and enjoyed the intricacy of woodworking. He gave his life to The LORD and was a strong believer. If he had anything to say about his arrangements, he would say "we really don't need to make a big deal out of this." He would deeply appreciate everyone in attendance. Survivors include two daughters, Kimberly and Jennifer; his siblings, Janet Kelly and her spouse Clifton, Rodney Raney and his spouse Valery and Stacy Raney; aunts, uncles, many nieces, nephews and friends.
