In Remembrance of

Bobby Robertson
rose spray

Bobby Robertson"To say he was a great man could never do him justice. He fell in to his own little category. When he was physically fit, he was the happiest man he could muster up. He cooked for his family, sat on the floor and watched cartoons with his child, and worked harder and harder every day to please his peers and charm his enemies. He worked hard to earn what he had and shared with anyone who would let him. He was an attention hog and at the same time he was the life of the party. He always had a fun story up his sleeve. And when he told one, you had to hear more. He formed an unbreakable bond with his family members, and touched a select few souls just enough to change a life. He was a fireman in heart, a guardian in soul, and a coach in mind. He had all the qualities needed to be the perfect husband, friend, and father. He never felt as amazing as all of these things, but the lives he touched knew better." ~ Hayden Robertson
