Bobby Lynn , you will be missed ….
Bobby Lynn coming from a good southern family, that is the name he was known by. We also grew up together, in school 1-12. Our mothers served together in PTA and as home room mothers, so I got invited to several of Bobby’s birthday party’s. They were always an event to remember. I loved Bobby’s fun mischievous smile. You could always tell he was thinking up something fun. I haven’t seen Bobby since our high school graduation in 1974. I still have fond memories of him.
My thoughts and prayers are with his wife , Billy Jack & Geri Lynn, and little brother Timmy.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. RIP Bobby Lynn
Bobby and I grew up together. I can not remember a time that I did not know him. Thinking back I have many memories of us as kids. Bobby was the same sweet guy then as he was the last time we talked. I will miss my dear friend.
Bessie,
Bobby Wright and I had a wonderful friendship that began around 1973. We had a lot of fun growing up. We did not see or talk often but when we did it was a time of reminiscing a bit and current events update,catching up on you,family and mutual friends we have not seen or talked to. Our visits always made me smile inside and out. Our last visit was by text on New Years 2017 He sent me a celebration of exploding fireworks.
Love and Prayers to you and your family and the Wright family!
My thoughts and prayers for Bessie and the rest of Bobby’s family. Bobby and I spoke often over the years while i was working at the
Vet Clinic, he never missed the chance to offer a kind word and always with a smile on his face!! Bobby had a kind soul and will be missed….
