He started his career in high school at Winn-Dixie Stores working his way up through the company holding many positions and retiring after 35 years. After retirement, he focused on spending time with family and working on hobbies. His favorite hobby was spent rebuilding, riding, and enjoying Cushman scooters. He loved sharing his mechanical abilities with friends as they worked together on cars and motorcycles. Bobby never met a stranger and was a friend to many.

He was a member of First Coast Baptist Church and dearly loved the members of the Victory class Sunday school and his teacher, Brother Morgan.

Bobby will be greatly missed by family and friends..
