An avid outdoorsman, Bobby found joy in boating, deep-sea fishing, freshwater fishing, hunting, and watching NASCAR. He was widely remembered for his generous and caring nature, often sharing his venison and fish with family and friends, always ensuring it was ready for cooking.
His willingness to "be there" for others was a defining characteristic.
