June and Robert and families: My family, the Bates’ have known Bobbie all our lives and he was a special person to my Dad and Mom, Ray and Sylvia Bates and also to Dale and myself – He did some work for Dad on the farm, and he went to the army – I remember him in his uniform and he and Clara getting married – and he was a sober, quiet individual with a built-in loyalty and character. We will miss him – and actually you guys are relatives because Bobbie’s mother was my mother’s cousin. Blessings to all.
