I didn’t know Bob personally but saw him out and about and he seemed like a hard working handsome man just making a living for his family. I can imagine that he instilled in his children how to be respectable and courteous to everyone. He must have been a good husband & father and you have his memory. God Bless you in this difficult time.

Bob was a special friend, also one who had done work for me and one who was always taking time to talk when we saw one another at Hardee’s, etc. His son, Michael is a neighbor. Bob will be missed by all who knew him. Condolences to the family.

Mr. Selby was a very nice man whom always had a smile on his face and as friendly a person as you could ever meet. Want to send the family lots of prayers during this time, there are no words to take away such pain, but hopefully the wonderful memories you shared will get you thru this difficult time.

I remember Bob and Maria coming to the Cumberland Presbyterian Church on the Lewisburg Hwy, years ago. Always thought he was a very nice man with a sweet smile. God bless you all.
