    So sorry to see of Bro. Bobby’s passing. He always met you with a smile, a hearty hello and a conversation remembering fond memories of his time at the Brookhaven Fred’s downtown . I think the last time we saw him was last fall at Applebee’s . Prayers for comfort, peace and adjusting in the coming days without his presence. But knowing he is in that perfect and beautiful place that God has prepared.???❤️❤️❤️

    Bobby was my assistant manager at Fred’s Dollar Store in Brookhaven back in the early 70’s. He was a fine man and a great boss. Bobby always treated me with respect even if it had a little practical joke or a little mischief mixed in. Prayers for the family.

    Mr Boyd was a great positive influence on me and all of us who worked for him. Heating his motto again makes me smile. I heard that many days! Prayers for the family. We know where He is!
