He loved going to church and spending time with his family and anytime you asked him anything it was always "Well". Bobby didn't have a favorite food he just liked food, but he loved his beer. He was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone who needed help. He was preceded in death by his parents and one, brother Irving, Jr. Bobby leaves to cherish his memories: two sisters, Beulah Trent and Katherine Booker; a host of nieces, nephews, great-nieces and nephews, great-great nieces and great-great nephews, cousins and friends. "Well" The pain of death has passed. My labor and sorrow cease. And life's long warfare closed at last, My soul has found it's peace
